Independent Tire Tests

Independent Tire Tests

At Goodyear we frequently refer to independent testing bodies, magazines and auto clubs.

They independently test tires for an average of 15 key performance criteria, typically including:

  • Wet and dry handling and braking
  • Cornering grip
  • Durability
  • Fuel consumption
  • Internal noise
  • Aquaplaning
