The Goodyear Efficient Grip SUV tyre has been named best in its class in a recent Tyre Review by Independent consumer group CHOICE.
The annual review involved a line-up of 12 prominent brands of 225/60 R17 SUV tyres being put through their paces at a range of speeds on a Kia Sportage. CHOICE experts tested the tyres on the disciplines of dry cornering and braking, wet cornering and braking and rolling resistance, and named the Goodyear Efficient Grip SUV as best performer with an overall score of 86%.
Raelene Smith, Head of Consumer Products for Goodyear Australia, commented, “Winning the CHOICE tyre review is testament of Goodyear’s commitment to innovation, superior design and quality performance. It’s an excellent all-round tyre and we’re extremely pleased that it is being recognised for that.”
CHOICE is Australia’s largest source of expert reviews. Based on unbiased analysis and rigorous testing, they help consumers compare products and services and select what’s best for them.
With Australian roads presenting varied terrain and weather, a tyre’s ability to perform to the highest possible standards when faced with a range of tough conditions is crucial. The Efficient Grip SUV tyre is designed to provide a quiet, reliable and comfortable drive, thus complementing and enhancing the latest SUV vehicles available on Australian roads.
Raelene Smith added, “Goodyear is committed to providing consumers with state of the art products that set technology and performance standards for the industry. The Efficient Grip SUV is the ideal tyre for SUVs because it offers just that.”
“In addition we have rigorous product lifecycle and development processes to ensure we continue to lead the industry. We are pleased to announce that in 2017, we will launch the Goodyear Efficient Grip SUV successor designed to outperform its predecessor in both noise, driving comfort and safety with even better capabilities, delivering all the features that consumers expect in a quality SUV tyre.”
