Goodyear OptiGrip tire. Depreciation is not terrible

The company introduced the Goodyear tire OptiGrip - an innovative product with years of superior performance and features, enabling it to provide good grip and braking on wet road and the high level of resistance to aquaplaning - even with the wear of the tire.

During the creation of the OptiGrip tire an innovative technology SmartWear was applied. After the tire tread wear, new layer appears and form a new channel that allows you to save a wet road adhesion and resistance to aquaplaning at high levels. The new OptiGrip tire retains its characteristics even with wear.

Goodyear patented an innovative technology SmartWear, which is used in the creation of an OptiGrip tire, which provides you a unique combination of the two specially designed sections of the tread. The top layer has a groove design with a three-dimensional linking system of the elements in the upper part of the tread blocks that provides high rigidity of the tread blocks, and provides high performance handling on a dry road and the high mileage.

According to the wear of the upper layer, the tread from the bottom starts to appear. The lower layer is designed to increase grip on a wet road and maintain the best in the segment of the characteristics of the braking and handling on wet pavement during the lifetime of the tire.


Technology SmartWear, applied for a new tire OptiGrip, also includes a new, unique tread pattern, which varies throughout the life cycle of the tire. As the wear on the tread, hidden under the top layer lamellas and grooves become visible, which provides efficient removal of water from the contact spot and high aquaplaning resistance throughout the life of the tire.

New tire OptiGrip passed many tests in its own grounds of Goodyear, and has been tested by an independent expert: by TÜV SÜD Automotive. During the tests a lot of features were ranked, such as braking, aquaplaning and handling, at different stages in the life of the tire. Since the efficiency of the tire tread wear was evaluated through the received data has confirmed the high characteristics of the tire OptiGrip throughout life.

New tires provide an ideal OptiGrip manageability while driving on a winding road and with high-speed maneuvering. New tire tread OptiGrip has also two closed longitudinal edges. Stable central zone transmits motion directly to the bend of the road surface, while the elements on the outside of the shoulder area of the tire reduce the effect of lateral slip. The result is a more even distribution of pressure in the contact spot, and increased stability while driving. In addition, the composition used for the upper layer of the tread also provides excellent controllability performance.

Low levels of rolling resistance tires Goodyear OptiGrip helps to reduce fuel consumption. The low content of polycyclic aromatic polymers in the composition of the tread makes the tire more environmentally safe.

New OptiGrip tire is represented in 16 dimensions. This size range covers most medium-and high-speed cars.
