Goodyear launches Assurance TripleMax tyres for power braking

Next time when the roads are wet and you brake hard to avoid hitting someone and the car comes to a sudden stop; You owe your life to not just the ABS in the car but also to your tyres, provided you have the new Goodyear Assurance TripleMax tyres.  Assurance TripleMax is the first tyre to have Goodyear’s latest Hydrogrip Technology. This technology reduces braking distances by more than two meters on wet roads. The technology was demonstrated at the F1 test track at the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida.

Driving on Indian roads, they say, requires tremendous skills because you face all kinds of uncertainties like wet road conditions, rough surface conditions, unforeseen pot holes, terribly designed speed bumps and breakers, pedestrians crossing the road unexpectedly, etc. Obviously, you need to brake all of a sudden when you come across these hurdles. It is here that the new Goodyear Assurance TripleMax tyres come handy.

P.K. Walia, VP Consumer Business, Goodyear India, noted that “The Assurance TripleMax uses Hydrogrip Technology, a Goodyear proprietary technology that allows drivers to reduce braking distances by more than two meters on wet roads compared to other tyres in the market today.”

“Hydrogrip Technology provides maximum wet grip through an innovative new tread compound, maximum control via a larger surface area contact patch meaning there is more rubber on the road, and maximum braking ability by way of biting edges with large block elements. All of this combined results in a safer and more comfortable ride,” he added.

Hydrogrip Technology is a combination of the following three elements:

Maximum Wet Grip: An innovative functionalised polymer tread compound with improved molecular bonding gives the Assurance TripleMax tyre the extra edge to take grip to a whole new level on wet and dry roads.
