Goodyear Says it's Taking on Michelin for Fuel-Efficient Tire Leader


Recommended Posts

Heavy Duty Trucking / March 17, 2015

Goodyear announced to its dealers at its 2015 Goodyear Dealer Meeting in Grapevine, Texas that its new goal is to be the leader in fuel-efficient truck tires.

One company executive said Michelin is the target.

Goodyear's new Fuel Max LHS steer tire joins the Fuel Max LHD in the lineup. It is available in four Load Range G and H sizes: 11R22.5, 11R24.5, 295/75R22.5 and 285/75R24.5.

A precure retread pattern that complements the Fuel Max LHD also was introduced.

A Fuel Max trailer tire, the LHT, will be available in the fourth quarter, as will the RSA regional all-position tire.

The move away from number nomenclature is calculated, according to Brian Buckham, general manager of commercial product, marketing and future innovation. “We're trying to simplify the naming process."
