When we first reported Goodyear’s provision of original equipment tyres to Cupra, the arrangement involved a single size of Eagle F1 SuperSport for the Formentor VZ5. The tyre maker’s OE supply arrangement with Cupra has since expanded with the selection of a range of Goodyear summer tyres as original equipment fitments for the Cupra Born, the brand’s first fully electric road car.
Renault’s best-selling SUV is fitted with Goodyear’s 215/55 R18 95H EfficientGrip Performance tyres, after being chosen as one of the main tyre suppliers. Goodyear will also supply 215/60 R17 96H EfficientGrip Performance tyres.
More than a dozen organisations and motoring publications across Europe have put a host of summer tyres to the test in recent times, and Goodyear points out that one particular tyre regularly gained positive results. In these comparative evaluation of various tyre sizes, which were conducted between May and November 2014 and published from February 2015 onwards, the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance secured a number of podium places, three of them on the top step.
