Goodyear has launched its next-generation premium all-season tire, the Goodyear Assurance MaxLife 2, in the USA and Canada. The tire is designed to deliver “more miles, more confidence and more comfort for drivers”, the tire maker says. It is Goodyear’s longest-lasting tire and is backed by an 85,000-mile (140,000 km) limited treadlife warranty.
Engineered for sedans, hybrids and luxury SUVs, the tire is available in 58 sizes, and fits vehicles such as the BMW X5, Mercedes GLE, Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Ford Explorer and Toyota RAV4.
Featuring Goodyear’s TredLife technology, the tire combines an enhanced tread compound and pattern to help deliver long-lasting performance and all-season traction. Four deep tread grooves and zigzag sipes are designed to provide confident grip in wet or dry conditions, and a built-in wear gauge monitors tread depth over time.
“The Goodyear Assurance MaxLife 2 is a direct response to what today’s drivers are asking for when it comes to their tires,” said Ryan Waldron, president, Goodyear Americas. “We’re proud to bring a tire to the market that will not only meet consumer expectations but exceed them, with an impressive tread life and performance that drivers can count on.”
