Goodyear

We dont have to try very hard to convince you guys about how big a brand Goodyear is.

Constant research and development have set Goodyear apart, from creative designs to cutting edge technology to ensure that every tyre delivered is state of the art. Some of these innovations include ArmorGrip, which incorporates Kevlar into each tyre to make them strong and durable. There is also Active Corner Grip that improves handling and tyre grip with reinforced inner sidewalls during cornering. Recently, Goodyear received the 2018 Environmental Achievement of the Year award at the Tire Technology Expo in Germany when research performed at its Innovation Centre discovered that the use of soybean oil in tires could increase tread life by 10 percent, reducing gas emissions and decreasing dependence on petroleum-based oils by almost 7 million gallons.
