Goodyear Succeed With New Greener Tyre

Feb. 6, 2011 - PRLog -- Goodyear has launched its new tyre,the Efficient Grip. Eric Roberts trading Goodyear tyres from http://Pellonautocentre.com  is very impressed with the new product, which is the latest from Goodyears long line of excellent products. Eric started out in his 35 year career working for Goodyears retail side and has first hand experience in dealing with their extensive products range, indeed  Eric was selected to attend a six week training coarse at their Birmingham tyre plant.
The coarse took in diverse subjects including all aspects or tyre designs,  with regular visits to the tyre factory, followed by classroom lectures about tyre design and related occurring problems when fitted to the actual vehicles.
Eric also had to solve problems in brain storming sessions that were videoed and later pulled apart in the lecture room. This was to give the participants confidence for future assignments that Goodyear were planning for certain individuals, indeed Eric was later interviewed for a retail role that would have taken him to Australia. Goodyear were very disappointed when Eric had to turn the job down because of personnel  reasons.
Goodyear started out making one of the first steel radial tyres the G8. This was an effort to catch up with another leading tyre manufacture, but Goodyear begun having problems in the structure of the steel belt and indeed had many tyre failures casing many to be recalled.
The next generation tyre from Goodyear was the G800+s this tyre had teething problems but these were overcome and Goodyear regained its reputation as a world leader in tyre manufacturing . This was followed by many other tyre types all with improvements in tyre tread design, indeed Goodyear were the first to bestow the advantages of tread patterns that combat aquaplaning.
This is the tiny  lair of water that forms between the tyre tread and the road surface, causing a driver to lose control  of his vehicle in very wet driving conditions. Goodyear NCT range were designed to combat aquaplaning with a massive extensive advertising campaign, Goodyear were the leaders in World tyre sales.
New designs followed, the next series of car tyres were to be the Eagle range, there is no doubt that Goodyear have always been at the forefront of tyre technology and innovation, World leaders al the way in tyre design, keeping up with the new speed and road conditions that confronted tyre designers all over the world.
The latest arrival to Goodyears innovations is the new Efficient Grip tyre. This has been with low emission greener cars in mind, cars like the new Renault electric vehicle , that require a tyre with much lower rolling resistance. Goodyear have managed this by make this tyre a lot lighter. This has been achieved by using lighter plastic materials in the construction, reducing the weight by 10%, also they have added a new material into the compound creating less heat generation and therefore reducing a lower rolling resistance and better performance.
