GOODYEAR LAUNCHES THE NEW ASSURANCE MAXGUARD SUV

Bringing superior handling, braking and durability to explore new possibilities

Goodyear (Thailand) Public Company Limited today announced the official launch of the Assurance MaxGuard SUV, a new member of Goodyear's Assurance Family. The Assurance MaxGuard SUV provides 2-in-1 protection through superior grip, braking and durability making it the perfect partner for drivers and their families to journey out and explore their world of possibilities.

With Goodyear's advanced ActiveGrip Technology, the new Assurance MaxGuard SUV offers a tight grip for superior handling and shorter braking distance on wet roads, due to the unique design and increased number of multi-biting edges and optimized distribution, and ActiveGrip cap compound with blended silica. The DuraGuard Technology builds a robust tire carcass to withstand cuts and punctures, while enhancing performance durability with a 2-ply construction and a strong steel belt package to ensure a thorough construction specific for SUVs and PPVs applications on highways.

The Assurance MaxGuard SUV also provides a quieter ride due to an upgraded tread pattern with an angled block design, noise reduction rib and narrower grooves to make a quieter and more comfortable driving experience. It extends longer mileage with an enhanced tire footprint, optimized tread depth distribution and cavity shape to maximize mileage performance serving the target customer's needs in seeking the best value for car tires.

In particular, demand for the mid-size SUV segment is growing 10%* every year - this presents a significant opportunity for the industry as nearly 85% of the tires sized 17" and above are SUV tires."

Mr. Randeep Singh Kanwa, Managing Director of Goodyear (Thailand) Public Company Limited, said, "We are very excited to introduce Assurance MaxGuard SUV to midsize SUV drivers in the Asia-Pacific.
