Goodyear on a Roll

Goodyear and DuPont are teaming up to provide consumers with high-performance tires with carbon fiber and KEVLAR® to enhance the total driving experience. Goodyear recently launched the Eagle® with ResponsEdge Technology™, the newest tire in its line to feature KEVLAR®. The Goodyear Wrangler® and Fortera® also use SilentArmor Technology™ with KEVLAR®.

The new Eagle® features ResponsEdge Technology™ that incorporates a sound- and shock-absorbing InsuLayer™ made with KEVLAR® to help provide a smooth, quiet ride, along with promoting even treadwear. The tire is also reinforced with a carbon fiber insert for stiffness.

"This tire is just one example of how DuPont is working with customers to use KEVLAR® in new and innovative ways," said Bill Harvey, vice president and general manager, DuPont Advanced Fiber Systems. “KEVLAR® technology allows Goodyear designers to do more than offer a new tire; it helps them provide drivers with a smooth and quiet ride."

Interestingly, KEVLAR® was originally developed as a material that would add strength to tires to in order to help prevent automobile accidents.

And now it has gone full circle and is being used to create outstanding new products from innovative companies like Goodyear.

Eagle® is a trademark of Goodyear.
