All new and current Goodyear tires are optimized to provide exceptional performance for electric and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, as evidenced by the new Goodyear EV-Ready logo that has been introduced on the sidewall of all new replacement tires starting in early 2024.
Goodyear has developed a toolkit of technologies to suit both EVs and other powertrains including:
- SoundComfort Technology: Drivers become more aware of noise created by tires and roads interaction as the most noticeable change in EV’s is just how quiet the car is. To ensure the EV journey stays as quiet as possible, SoundComfort technology has the potential to reduce interior noise up to 50%.
- Mileage Plus Technology: As EV’s are heavier than traditional vehicles, there can be more wear on electric car tires. Combined with instant torque this can cause standard tires to wear more quickly, also depending on the driving behaviour. Using technologies such as the Mileage Plus Technology, the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2, for example, can give drivers up to 50% more mileage than its predecessor.
- Rolling Resistance Technologies: Goodyear’s Low Rolling Resistance technologies contribute to reducing energy consumption and extending the driving range. Extending the driving range can be achieved by optimizing the tire structure, in combination with developing innovative compounds and aerodynamically tuning the sidewall design
