Goodyear EfficientGrip Compact is a premium tyre which provides long mileage, fuel efficiency and confidence on both dry and wet surfaces . Engineers have reduced the weight of the tyre, which contributed to better rolling resistance. As a result, Goodyear EfficientGrip Compact provides lower fuel consumption, the tyre is also more eco-friendly due to the reduction of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Thanks to the specially designed tread, the tyre pressure on the surface is even, which helps maintain high performance throughout the model’s longevity.
The tread pattern stands out with double wide circumferential grooves and transverse tubules, which quickly disperses water from under the tyre, providing a shorter braking distance and minimising the possibility of aquaplaning . For the production, the Goodyear EfficientGrip Compact uses an innovative mix of rubber, which has improved the surface of the tyre footprint and provided better traction regardless the state of the road.
The model provides precise steering, therefore very well suited for driving in the city, during which they show their full potential. In addition, Goodyear EfficientGrip Compact means comfort and silence in the car, achieved through improved by a damping sounds design . Maximum performance and safety in all conditions are the parameters that make Goodyear EfficientGrip Compact appreciated by many drivers worldwide. The model is ideally suited to the extreme and variable weather conditions.
Goodyear
Goodyear is a company whose history dates back to 1898, when Frank Seiberling founded the firm, named in honour of Charles Goodyear, the inventor of the rubber vulcanisation process. Over many decades, the company has made a name for itself as a pioneer of new technologies, developing, amongst other things, the first fully replaceable tyre and the forerunner to run-flat technology – the LifeGuard dual-tube tyre. It was on the American company’s innovative tyres that a car first broke the 600-mile-per-hour barrier, and they also accompanied the crew during the first successful moon landing. Today, Goodyear is one of the world’s largest tyre manufacturers, classified – and not without reason – in the highest premium segment. The American group owns brands such as Dębica, Fulda and Sava.
