Good Year Tires is a company which was founded by Frank A. Seiberling way back in 1898 in the small town of East Akron, Ohio. Just 18 years after it was founded it was the world’s largest tire company. Today the company does over $20 billion a year with their sights set on the future and innovation. They make tires for all vehicles ranging from cars, vans, trucks, and suv’s under just about any road condition.
In late 2009, Good Year tires came out with a tire which actually increases fuel economy; breaking a World Record by almost 10 mpg! With the 4% increase in miles per gallon from the previous record holding tire, they calculated that on average, you’d save approximately 2,600 miles worth of gas over the lifetime of a set of a new pair of these tires. They’re conveniently an all around tire which also come in about 27 different sizes and an impressive 65,000 mile limited warranty!
Good Year tires recently came out with a tire called the Wrangler MT/R, the biggest thing that makes this tire special and stand out from the rest is it’s built with DuPont Kevlar. Having a tire with DuPont Kevlar really helps to decrease the chance the sidewalls are going to be punctured by an impressive 35%, which makes them great 4×4 off road tires. Not only do these tires make for great off road tires, but perform just as well on wet surfaces.
Under the Wrangler name they also have what they call the DuraTrac. This is also a great tire for dirt, gravel, mud, and winter driving conditions. One great feature this tire has which sets it apart from the rest is a rim protector which helps keep the rims protected when you accidentally go over a sharp curb.
The great thing about Good Year tires is the wide range tires they have available and their ability to be extremely competitive in each class. One of their other big sellers they have right now is called the Assurance® ComforTred® Touring. It’s exactly what it sounds like, it targets a smooth and comfortable ride with superb handling as well. What makes these tires so much more of a comfortable ride than other standard passenger tires is a special comfort layer which actually provides an impressive 20% more cushioning. They also come with an impressive 70,000 to 80,000 mile tread life warranty and still are able to provide extremely impressive marks in areas like snow, wet, and dry traction.
As you can see Good Year tires are an amazing product and make it incredibly easy to find the tire which is a perfect fit for you. So don’t risk your safety by saving a few bucks on some cheap brand, go with a brand that America trusts.
