Goodyear Innovations have always been at the leading edge of tyre technology, including the development of the futuristic tyre, the “Biolsoprene” concept tyres.
Goodyear tyres have always been a favorite of mine, mainly because i worked for them for a number of years, managing some of their retail tyre depots.
“We’re also working hard on more environmentally-friendly products, with the BioIsoprene™ concept tyre – a tyre made of renewable biomass” – unveiled at the 2012 Climate Conference in Copenhagen.

Goodyear Innovations
Goodyear Ultragrips were developed from their involvement with the rally car scene and in the 1970’s they came out with the Goodyear Grand Prix X tyres, famous for the new word out at the time “aquaplaning”.
This made drivers aware of the dangers of driving on wet roads, and the need for their tyres to be able to get rid of the surface water to allow the tyre tread to grip the road. In 1992 Goodyear introduces the first run-on-flat, tire for the Chevrolet Corvette. This is now very popular on some of today’s cars, allowing the driver to continue the journey after a puncture or other tyre deflation.
In 2004 Assurance tyres featuring, TripleTred and ComforTred technology was introduced. These are just a few of the Goodyear innovations over the years.
