With the monsoon around the corner, Goodyear India has rolled out the Assurance TripleMax, the first tyre to boast of Goodyear's latest HYDROGRIP Technology. According to the company, the use of this technology in the tyres helps reduce braking distances by more than 2 meters on wet roads. The tyres have been designed especially for mid and premium passenger vehicles but it is the Hydrogrip technology that makes them unique. According to P.K. Walia, VP Consumer Business, Goodyear India, "Setting a new standard in tyre innovation, the Assurance TripleMax uses HYDROGRIP Technology, a Goodyear proprietary technology that allows drivers to reduce braking distances by more than 2 meters on wet roads compared to other tyres in the market today.

All of this combined results in a safer and more comfortable ride." In addition to significantly increasing grip and shortening braking distances, the Goodyear Assurance TripleMax tyre is developed with two other key consumer needs in mind; an increase in fuel savings and a high level of tyre durability. Fuel efficiency sees improvement as Goodyear has been able to reduce the tyre's rolling resistance; the lower the rolling resistance of a tyre, the less energy the car needs to push it forward. The tyres are available in 14" to 16" rim diameters and in multiple sizes which cater to everything from a sub-compact to a luxury sedan.
