Goodyear team up with the New Renault Scenic

Goodyear has announced a fitment on the new Renault Scenic. Renault will fit the latest tyre innovation by Goodyear, a Tall and Narrow, 195/55R20 95H XL EfficentGrip Performance and 195/55R20 95H XL Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-2 to the new Scenic.

Roland Close, Director Tyre Technology OE Consumer EMEA for Goodyear said "To convince Renault about our ability to create such cutting edge tyres, we provided insights from our Fundamental Research Group. By doing this we were able to provide test tyres at the early stages of our discussion with Renault which aided them in their development process." Roland Close continues "Renault engineers and designers were convinced after initial tests that the Tall and Narrow tyres would assist them in achieving their tough targets in ultra-low rolling resistance performance whilst maintaining performance in other test criteria."

The Tall and Narrow concept provides the technology needed to keep rolling resistance at lower levels than ever before which assists manufacturers to meet the CO2 emissions targets.

With these tyres having a narrow section width the Scenic's contact patch becomes long and narrow, this provides better aerodynamics which equals better aquaplaning resistance as well as lower fuel consumption and lower noise.

Goodyear will be the only supplier in this tyre size in the all season tyre pattern and will also offer a winter tyre pattern.
