Goodyear To Add Several New Tires To Its Lineup
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. has recently announced the addition of several new tires it will be adding to its lineup in the coming months.
First up is the Goodyear Assurance All-Season, which is tentively set for an April 2014 release. Goodyear claims this new model is built for “consumers looking for confident all-season traction, long tread wear and great value.” A total of 41 sizes will be made available ranging from 14-18 inch rim diameters.
Features of the new Assurance All-Season include:

Another new model that is set for release in the coming months is the Goodyear Wrangler Fortitude HT. This new model is already set to become original equipment on several new vehicles and will be initially offered in 5 sizes: 265/70R16, 255/65R17, 265/70R17, 265/60R18 and 275/65R18.
The Fortitude HT features a rugged looking tread and sidewall design; wider circumferential grooves and full depth sipes for increased traction on dry, wet and snow covered roads; an optimized tread pattern that reduces road noise, and a lower rolling resistance tread compound that should increase fuel efficiency.
