SG: Goodyear Launches Assurance TripleMax: Reduces Braking Distances

Drivers don't need to be concerned about the rain, as the Goodyear Assurance TripleMax tire helps take the worry out of driving. It reduces braking distances by more than 2 meters on wet roads. Goodyear has rolled out the first tire to boast Goodyear's latest HYDROGRIP Technology that delivers drivers' maximum grip for maximum assurance. The new Goodyear Assurance TripleMax tire is designed for mid-sized passenger vehicles and it is developed to provide shorter braking distances for drivers, particularly when driving in the rain.

HYDROGRIP Technology is a combination of the following three elements:

: An innovative functionalized polymer tread compound with improved molecular bonding gives the Assurance TripleMax tire the extra edge to take grip to a whole new level on wet and dry roads.

Maximum Wet Grip

: Larger surface area contact and optimized pressure distribution on key block elements on the Assurance TripleMax tire improves rubber contact with the road, giving drivers’ improved braking.

Maximum Control

Equipped with biting edges with large block elements, the new Assurance TripleMax tire has an increased road contact area for better traction when braking.

Maximum Braking Ability:

TripleMax tire was also developed with two other key consumer needs in mind; a high level of tire durability and an increase in fuel savings. The tire is reinforced with DuPont Kevlar, which is used in military grade equipment while it lets drivers go further for less and reduce emissions, saving up to $530/265L worth of fuel over the life of the tires. This efficiency is achieved by reducing the tire's rolling resistance.

“Setting a new standard in tire innovation, the Assurance TripleMax uses HYDROGRIP Technology, a Goodyear proprietary technology that allows drivers to reduce braking distances by more than 2 meters on wet roads compared to other tires in the market today,” said May Koo, Goodyear Singapore Sales & Marketing Manager.
