Optimized rolling resistance during tire wear
2. High Net to Gross to optimize wearable rubber volume with reduced tread depth
Improved rolling resistance and mileage
3. Optimized Cavity shape
Excellent compromise for rolling resistance, mileage and handling
4. Optimized blade angles
Rolling resistance and wet grip enhancement
5. Edge blades
Improved wet grip
* The new FUELMAX Steer and Drive in combination with Marathon LHTII rolls efficiently to save you up to €2.000 on fuel per vehicle every year compared to the average of the tested competitors and up to €1.200 compared to its closest competitor.
Estimates of fuel saving calculated by Goodyear GIC*L compared to the average of three leading competitors based on TUEV SUED rolling resistance test (No. 7625746) for a tractor-trailer combination on sizes 315/70R22.5” on Steer and Drive and 385/55R22.5” on Trailer, assuming an average fuel consumption of 34L/100km, a mileage of 150000km/year with an average fuel price of 1,35 €/liter.
Actual results may vary based on, but not restricted to, road and weather conditions, driving style, wear conditions, tire size, tire pressure and vehicle maintenance.
** Comparative tests made by Goodyear GIC*L on size 315/70R22.5 show that new Goodyear FUELMAX S and FUELMAX D steer and drive tires offer an improvement in rolling resistance of up to 6% and 10% respectively vs. Goodyear Marathon LHS II + and LHD II + tires.
The new FUELMAX S sees the introduction of the latest FUELMAX Technology, which presents in tread design IntelliMax Groove Technology providing enhanced rolling resistance compared to its predecessors. A special manufacturing technique allows a hidden pattern to be molded into the tire.
The 3 hidden raindrop groves close when rolling through the footprint. The ribs support each other stiffening the tread. When 50% worn the IntelliMax grooves open. Because the tread depth is lower the rib movement is lower and does not need the support of the closed IntelliMax grooves.
