Its flagship Assurance series offers better wet road performance as well as more comfort.

The company has upgraded its TripleMax range and has launched the TripleMax 2. The range comes with a boosted compound formulation of Carbon-Silicon to aid braking, and it also comes with downsized rubber blocks on the tyre’s contact surface to reduce road noise.

The TripleMax 2 series gets an asymmetric tread pattern, which the company calls 'HydroTred', and this tread pattern allows for quick dissipation of water while on a wet road reducing the chances of aquaplaning. The new tyres also come with enhanced, two-layer sidewall reinforcement for India.

You can get the Goodyear Assurance TripleMax 2 range in a host of sizes – 14-inch, 15-inch and 16-inch rim diameters. PK Walia, vice-president (consumer tyre business), Goodyear India said, “India is key market for Goodyear in the Asian region. We are on an absolutely sure-footed growth trajectory in the country. We see a lot of strength in the passenger car products as this market is evolving. The TripleMax 2 range will be priced at par with the TripleMax 1 series, and barring continuing supplies to a few OE commitments, we will gradually phase out the Assurance TripleMax 1 from the market.”
