Goodyear Tires - More Information
RUN ON FLAT® & EMT™ TIRES
Goodyear tires has been developing specialized versions of Run On Flat tires and EMT tires because of their many benefits. What are Run On Flat tires? Both Run On Flat & EMT™ (Extended Mobility Technology) tires are designed to perform when deflating or even once deflated. They allow you to drive at a top speed of 50 mph/80 kph for up to 50 mi./80 km to help you reach a safe place or service area. Also, by eliminating the need for a spare tire, this tire technology can save weight, space, cost, and resources.
DUPONT™ KEVLAR® TIRE TECHNOLOGY
At Goodyear, we appreciate and welcome innovation. For this reason, we began producing tires that feature the DuPont™ Kevlar® technology. The wide range of benefits provided by this innovative technology include; helps increase sidewall puncture resistance, offers rugged strength, and helps provide a smooth quiet on-road experience.
ROLLING RESISTANCE & FUEL ECONOMY
Rolling resistance is the amount of resistance that occurs when a tire rolls on a flat surface. Most of the rolling resistance in a tire comes directly from the tread. Why does the amount of rolling resistance in a tire matter? The answer is very simple. The tire with less rolling resistance reduces fuel usage.
For this reason, at Goodyear we've created an Assurance® FuelMax® Goodyear tire which reduces rolling resistance by up to 27% in order to help save consumers gas money. This translates to up to 2,600 mi./4,000 km worth of gas over the life of 4 tires. For more information, we invite you to check out the GoodYear Tires Website
