The Goodyear Assurance TripleMax summer tire is designed for a wide range of passenger cars of various classes. The model is distinguished by balanced characteristics, simultaneously demonstrating good handling, fuel-saving properties, and traction on wet surfaces.
Wet Traction Performance
The HydroGrip technology was used in the development of the tire. It represents a whole complex of technical solutions that have affected almost all components of the tire. Interacting with each other, they improve almost all the basic operational properties of the tire, which demonstrates a practically complete absence of any "weak points".
Compound with Functional Polymers
The tire's tread is made of a rubber mixture that consists of about two-thirds silica. Increasing the content of this component, which significantly improves traction on wet surfaces, was made possible by the inclusion of functional polymers in the composition. The complex of chemical compounds of artificial origin enhances the intermolecular bonds between all components of the compound, thereby increasing its tensile strength and rupture resistance. In addition to traction properties, this feature improves the ability of the tread to maintain its integrity when driving at high speeds and heating up.
Increased Contact Patch Width
Reliable traction is largely ensured by the tread profile. Its shape was selected to maximize the contact patch. At the same time, the design of the shoulder blocks gives it a rectangular configuration, which has a positive effect on both traction and handling.
Key Features of Goodyear Assurance TripleMax
- The rubber mixture with functional polymers improves traction on wet surfaces;
- A wide and rectangular contact patch provides reliable and predictable behavior in complex situations, prevents premature wear;
- Wide shoulder blocks help maintain stability during maneuvering and braking.
