Goodyear Assurance Duraplus
Imagine a set of tires that can take a driver the grueling distance of approximately two and a half times around the world. The Goodyear Assurance DuraPlus is engineered to let drivers go up to 100,000km¹ and comes reinforced with DuPont™ Kevlar® for added protection, delivering tremendous value through a longer lasting and more durable tire.
Designed for small- to mid-sized passenger vehicles, the Assurance DuraPlus tire boasts an improved version of Goodyear’s proprietary TredLife Technology™ with a new enhanced tread compound, combined with a DuPont Kevlar overlay for added reinforcing.
Goodyear’s TredLife Technology increases the usable life of the tire for longer mileage. In the Assurance DuraPlus, it provides up to 100,000km¹ of road travel.
TredLife Technology comprises of three key elements. Firstly, an advanced carbon-based tread compound with higher carbon content provides increased resistance to road wear. In addition, TredLife Technology also incorporates a larger tread width design, which comes from an optimized cavity shape, putting more rubber in contact with the road for a longer lasting tread. Finally, a maximized rubber volume provides more road contact area, and combined with a deep tread depth, allows for more wearable rubber.
Reinforced with DuPont Kevlar for added protection
The introduction of a DuPont Kevlar overlay into the Assurance DuraPlus increases the tire’s durability. Used in military grade equipment, this lightweight material maintains stiffness and strength even under high temperature conditions when the tire is in motion, giving drivers’ added protection against road hazards.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Enables a set of tires to last up to 100,000km1
A compound with higher carbon content provides increased resistance to road wear, thus helps improve tread wear performance.
A larger tread width design, from an optimized cavity shape, puts more wearable rubber in contact with the road for a longer lasting tread.
1 Tire mileage projection as tested by Goodyear Testing Division in size 185/65R14 on roads in Thailand and actual mileage may vary due to state of roads, tire pressure and maintenance, climate, driving styles and usage patterns etc. Distances between cities are estimates of straight point to point distances in kilometers.
Maximized rubber volume provides more road contact area, and combined with a deep tread depth, allows for more wearable rubber.
