Goodyear EfficientGrip
1.9% lower fuel consumption*

Reduce fuel consumtion without reducing other performances

The brand new EfficientGrip is the first Ultra High Performance tyre that reduces fuel consumption without reducing other performances. It is therefore one of the environment's best friends. Using the latest developments in manufacturing techniques and advanced materials, Goodyear engineers have developed a FuelSaving Technology. Made with innovative materials and a new generation of tread compound, this exceptional summer tyre has a new light-weight structure that helps reduce the amount of energy required to make it roll.

• LightWeight Tyre Structure
  
  Using new materials and an efficient structure, tyre weight has been reduced by roughly 10%*. Less material in the tyres and less heat generation for a reduced rolling resistance.

  * vs its predecessor (size:195\65R15 & 205/55R16) 

• Patented CoolCushion Layer
  
  A new thermo-plastic ingredient used as reinforcing agent replaces partially carbon black for a lighter weight and less heat generation leading to a further decrease of the tyre's rolling resistance. 
  
  
• Advanced Compound Materials
  
  Through an optimum usage of reinforcement and linking agents, thermal stability of compounds has been improved and therefore rolling resistance reduced.
  
  

As about 20% of a car's fuel consumption can be accredited to the tyres through the rolling resistance mechanism. A decrease in tyres' rolling resistance therefore leads to a vehicle's reduced fuel consumption hence reduced CO2 emissions.
