Goodyear ElectricDrive is a new grand touring tire designed especially for drivers of EVs used in all seasons. In general, this type of tire is designed to provide the best balance between sound comfort, fuel usage, and mileage. Considering the fact that EVs are powered by electric motors on batteries, engineers use a special rubber compound oriented on fuel economy. The external side of the Goodyear ElectricDrive presents a modern tread pattern that keeps low noise levels achieved by electric motors. On the other side, it delivers reliable year-round traction in dry, wet, and snowy covered surfaces. As a result, this tire provides a confident and relaxed driving experience. To provide more rubber on the asphalt, engineers use a special pattern with four linear grooves and large lateral notches. These evacuate efficient water, snow, and slush from the contact patch for increased road stability.
When it comes to the tire's internal structure, we should point out that it features ComfortEdge sidewall Technology. The main role of this technology is to absorb impacts and noise, providing refined steering. In addition, a two-ply casing with twin steel belts and reinforced cap ply improves high speed durability. This model is present in the US market in two main sizes. These are ideal options for a wide range of electric cars such as the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Bolt, Tesla Model 3, and many others.
