EfficientGrip

EfficientGrip

Saves fuel, saves money, better for the environment.
Use less fuel, get more performance.

Using the latest developments in manufacturing techniques and advanced materials, our Goodyear engineers have developed a FuelSaving technology to reduce fuel consumption without reducing performance. EfficientGrip tyre’s lightweight structure is fabricated from innovative materials including a new generation of tread compound that helps reduce the amount of energy needed
to propel the tyres. In short this tyre is one of the environment’s best friends.

But don’t just take our word for it.
Independent performance tests by German testing and certification company TUV SUD Automotive, have found that the Goodyear EfficientGrip performs exceptionally:

  • 1.9% more fuel efficiency*
  • 2% shorter braking distance on wet and dry*
  • 8% more mileage (driven axle)*
  • 49% more mileage (non-driven axle)*
*Compared to the average performance of 4 leading competitors. Tested by TUV SUD Automotive in March 2009. Tyre size 205/55R16. Test car: VW Golf. Report # 76236753
 
Features Benefits
Unique FuelSaving Technology:
  • A lightweight tyre structure
  • An optimised tyre shape
  • Advanced compound materials and manufacturing technology
  • A patented CoolCushion Layer

Improved fuel efficiency

Reduced CO2 emission and environmental impact
Silica tread compound using latest generation of polymers High mileage Environmental friendly
Superior wet braking performances
Multi functional blading Better braking performance on wet surfaces
Variable tread block angle and arrangement Quiet ride

 

OptiGrip

Long lasting performance.
The tyre that keeps gripping.

The Goodyear OptipGrip tyre offers you excellent performance for longer. Its longevity comes thanks to SmartWear technology – as the tyre wears, hidden channels below the tread surface are revealed so new grooves come into contact with the driving surface. This in effect replaces the tread keeping the tyre’s water evacuation extremely efficient and reduces the likelihood of aquaplaning.

Wet or dry.
Combined with its dual-layered compound for high levels of grip and vehicle control in the wet and a 3D interlocking mechanism to maximise handling and mileage in the dry, and this is the tyre that offers you consistent function over its lifetime.

Features Benefits
Hidden Grooves Worn aquaplaning resistance
Dual-layer compound Dry handling and mileage
Wet braking and handling
3D interlocking mechanism New tyre handling performance
Pattern pitch sequence Quiet ride

 

OptiGrip
Eagle F1 Asymmetric

Eagle F1 Asymmetric

The High performance tyre for high performance cars.
The asymmetric Eagle F1 has been developed specifically with high performance, luxury cars in mind. These cars demand a tyre that’s responsive to their predictive safety systems and keeps their raw power under control.

Asymmetric tread pattern with closed outside design Better dry handling and a quieter ride
Open inside design Helps to reduce aquaplaning and improves performance in the wet
3D-BIS technology Better handling and more stability
Continuous ribs For a quieter ride and better dry handling

RunOnFlat

The tyre a puncture can’t stop.
A puncture is every motorist’s worst nightmare. Crouching by the roadside changing the wheel, you’re going nowhere fast. Fortunately, Goodyear are making that a thing of the past with RunOnFlat tyres.

RunOnFlat technology reinforces the sidewalls of the tyre, when a puncture happens, the sidewalls don’t collapse like they would normally, which means that the tyre stays on the rim and will carry your car for up to 50 miles (at 50 mph).

Many leading car manufacturers such as BMW, Mercedes, Ford and Range Rover now it these tyres as either a standard or option fit. For drivers who choose RunOnFlat the benefits are outstanding:

Control

  • Enhanced control even after a motorway blow out
  • Keeps control even when cornering

Mobility

  • You keep on the road and make that meeting or important appointment
  • The simple convenience of getting to your destination without delay

Convenience

  • RunOnFlat allows you to choose when and where to repair or replace your punctured tyre
  • You won’t have to worry about dirtying your hands or clothes
  • You’ll also save a good deal of room in the boot, as you won’t need to continue to lug along a spare

GOODYEAR RUNONFLAT TYRES SHOULD ONLY BE MOUNTED ON CARS DESIGNED FOR RUN FLAT TYRES AND EQUIPPED WITH A FULLY OPERATING PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM DEVICE.
