Goodyear has launched its Assurance MaxGuard tyre offering 2-in-1 protection for a wide range of SUVs.
First is the ActiveGrip Technology that enables vehicles to stop faster and safer. According to Goodyear, the pioneering design of the water-wave shield pattern helps to increase friction and the optimised cavity shape increases the contact patch by 10%. Both features contribute to better performance on wet roads with shorter braking distances.
The new-generation full silica tread compound has 80% more silica, and combined with a wet booster resin adjusts to road roughness with more micro contact to achieve a stronger grip on the surface, especially under wet conditions.
The second protection is the armour-like shield pattern of the Assurance MaxGuard. To build stronger and tougher tyres to withstand road impacts, Goodyear engineers leveraged the DuraGuard Technology…
