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 introduced the first run-on-flat tyre 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 were introduced. These are just a few of the Goodyear innovations over the years.
