The tyre features shoulder stabilisers which ensure that the tyre provides the necessary grip when going round corners, and ground pressure is distributed evenly over the entire area of contact between the tyre and the road for better driving performance and slower wear. The Excellence is also manufactured from a polymer compound which guarantees optimum tyre-to-road adhesion, significantly reducing braking distances in rainy weather.
The lightweight and durable compound used to manufacture the tyre reduces rolling resistance and therefore fuel consumption, as well as offering a high level of resistance to mechanical damage and rapid wear which improves the mileage performance of the Goodyear EXCELLENCE.
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company was founded by Frank Seiberling, who purchased the company's first production facility in 1898 using money borrowed from his brother-in-law. The company is named after Charles Goodyear, the man who invented vulcanisation. The brand's logo - a winged foot - was also chosen around this time as a way of combining the company's cutting-edge innovations with tradition. Goodyear is currently the largest tyre manufacturer in the world, and has a market presence on six continents. It also manufactures tyres under brands such as: Dunlop, Kelly, Fulda, Lee, Sava and Dębica.
