The operational properties of the Goodyear EfficientGrip SCT summer tire are tailored with a "bias" towards maximum efficiency on wet surfaces. In such conditions, it demonstrates stable traction and the ability to brake intensely without relying on electronic "assistants".
The tire's tread has a 2-layer structure. The inner part is made of a rubber compound with increased stiffness and thermal conductivity. This significantly improves the stability of traction and reduces rolling resistance, especially during uniform straight-line movement. The outer part, which comes into direct contact with the road surface, is made from a compound that includes, in addition to "silica", resins with increased adhesion. This allows the tire to better grip the road surface, especially in rainy conditions.
Key features of Goodyear EfficientGrip SCT
- The 2-layer tread structure improves fuel efficiency, high-speed stability, wet traction, and reduces wear.
- Precise and quick responses to driver actions thanks to the stiffness of the longitudinal ribs in the central part;
- The "active braking" technology reduces the braking distance on dry and wet surfaces.
