“Well balanced premium tire with fuel efficiency. Best handling qualities on wet surfaces. Short braking distances on wet and dry, good steering precision.”
Key Benefits
-
A-rated wet grip
Rated A1 for wet grip performance, the highest rating awarded under EU regulations.
-
Shorter braking distances for driving confidence
ActiveBraking Technology increases contact between the tyre and the road surface for shorter braking distances – up to two metres (8%) shorter on wet roads2 and 3% shorter in the dry3.
-
Improved wet braking and lower rolling resistance
WearControl Technology ensures an optimal balance between wet grip and low rolling resistance for the life of the tyre.
-
Lower fuel consumption
We use FuelSaving Technology to create a new base compound that reduces the tyre’s energy dissipation. Rolling resistance is reduced by 18%4 meaning improved fuel efficiency and lower driving costs for you.
1* Grade A wet grip rating awarded for majority of tyre sizes under Regulation (EC) No 1222/2009, but grading may vary for certain sizes.
2 Compared to the average braking distance of four leading competitors (braking on high ? very wet surface at 80–20 km/h). Tested by TÜV SÜD Automotive in September 2012 by order of Goodyear Dunlop. Tyre size: 205/55 R16 91V; test car: VW Golf; test locations: Mireval (FR), Papenburg (D) and Garching (D); report no. 76249743
