Goodyear Tires Gain EPA Certification

(Akron/Tire Review) U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has certified Goodyear’s medium truck tires featuring its Fuel Max Technology for use on SmartWay-eligible trucks.

Goodyear said its medium radials with Fuel Max Technology can improve truck fuel efficiency by 4%, and when used with other SmartWay-qualified components, each truck can produce savings of up to 4,000 gallons per year, or more than $11,000 annually.

Goodyear’s Fuel Max line includes steer, drive and trailer tires and retreads.

"Obviously we’re pleased that these Goodyear tires are recognized for their fuel-efficiency by the EPA," said Steve McClellan, vice president, commercial tire systems. "We’ve enhanced fuel economy in our platform of line- haul tires, so this is a win-win for our customers and the environment."

Goodyear tires featuring Fuel Max Technology include the Unisteel G395 LHS steer tire, Unisteel G305 LHD drive tire and Unisteel G316 LHT trail tire in standard (11R22.5) and low-profile (295/75R22.5 and 285/75R24.5) sizes. Goodyear also offers UniCircle and precure retreading with Fuel Max Technology.
