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 to optimise the compound materials and tyre construction. Extra robustness is supported by a dual-layer carcass ply with higher cord density and strength and two belts with high-tensile steel to cope with unexpected cuts and impacts.
