Goodyear teams occupy 4 top spots at halfway point of Dakar

After a grueling first week of the Dakar Rally, the top four teams in the truck category share one common factor: their choice of Goodyear tires.

The top three spots are held by the KAMAZ-master team, while the fourth spot is occupied by the IVECO team of PETRONAS Team De Rooy. Both teams have opted for the robust Goodyear OFFROAD tires for the rally raid across the Arabian Desert.

Maciej Szymanski, Director of Marketing for Commercial Business in Europe at Goodyear, said: "The fact that Goodyear OFFROAD tires have been chosen by the top four teams out of more than 50 trucks highlights their effectiveness. The tires have exactly the same specification as those available to operators across Europe. Success means overcoming sandy tracks with hidden rocks, and we're pleased that the proven durability of Goodyear OFFROAD provides a competitive edge."
