Worn tyre aquaplanning test

In aquaplaning resistance tests, the Goodyear engineers performed under floor examination tests with a worn OptiGrip tyre.

Tread technology

The innovative SmartWear Technology facilitates water evacuation through new channels as the tread wears down. These new grooves that appear offer excellent aquaplaning performance even towards the end of the tyre’s life.

Competitive comparison

After 20,000km the OptiGrip offers better aquaplaning resistance than 2 brand new competitors.
