Goodyear to Supply EfficientGrip Performance Tyres for New Renault Captur

Goodyear, a tyre manufacturer with "Innovation Centres" in Ohio (US) and Colmar-Berg (Luxembourg), has announced that it is supplying the new Renault Captur model with  its EfficientGrip Performance tyres.

Goodyear has been chosen as one of the main tyre suppliers for the all-new Renault Captur, providing 215/55R18 95H EfficientGrip Performance tyres. The Renault Captur is one of the best-selling small SUVs on the market, with 1.5 million units sold in more than 90 countries since its launch in 2013.

The all-new Captur follows its original formula, but the car has now been updated with the latest technologies. The Captur has also received an upgrade on its wheels, with Renault opting this time for Goodyear’s EffficientGrip Performance tyres. As well as the 215/55R18 95H, Goodyear will also supply the 215/60R17 96H.

Hans Vrijsen, Managing Director of Goodyear OE in the EMEA region, commented: “Goodyear is proud to supply its 215/55R18 95H EfficientGrip Performance tyres. We believe these tyres add the perfect level of grip and fuel efficiency for this outstanding SUV. We look forward to joining forces with Renault to give customers the best driving experience".

The 215/60R17 96H is a class A for Fuel Efficiency and a class B for Wet Grip. As tyres account for up to 20% of a vehicle’s fuel consumption, tyres with a high fuel efficiency rating give more miles and lower CO2 emissions. Tyres, just like tyre pressure and the weight of the vehicle, all affect the fuel efficiency of tires or the energy required to roll – and thus the fuel necessary to propel it.

For its part, the 215/55R18 95H EfficientGrip Performance tyre boasts class A for Wet Grip and class B for Fuel Efficiency.
