Goodyear and Citroën have partnered for the launch of the latter’s ELO concept. As part of this collaboration, Goodyear has developed the Eagle Xplore, a bespoke concept tire with features focused around tire connectivity and design.
The tire features an orange sidewall pigment in line with the vehicle’s signature color and also integrates Goodyear SightLine, an advanced suite of tire intelligence technologies, fully connected to the car and accessible via the cockpit and ELO’s app. For the first time, SightLine displays real-time tire pressure directly on the vehicle’s rim through an LED sidebar.
The Eagle Xplore’s tread pattern draws from Goodyear’s iconic Wrangler line, while the LED sidebar shows real-time information on tire pressure and load – green indicates optimal pressure, red signals that adjustment is needed.
“Goodyear Eagle Xplore is where innovation meets style,” said Ben Glesener, senior technology director, product development, consumer EMEA.
“By combining distinctive design, intelligent innovation and seamless connectivity, Goodyear is redefining the future of mobility with tailored solutions that transform every journey into an extraordinary experience.”
