The Marathon Coach is an all position tyre for year-round use. It is characterised by a unique asymmetric design, which offers excellent even wear and mileage with a high comfort level. Uneven tyre wear has been a serious problem for tyres on modern coaches, resulting in reduced tyre life. The asymmetric design, which Goodyear has developed specifically for the Marathon Coach tyre, addresses this problem.

The Ultra Grip Coach is a specific winter drive tyre with enhanced snow traction. This tyre will be of particular benefit on coaches which operate in areas such as the Nordic Countries and in Alpine regions, where icy roads are common and sudden snow falls can cause serious delays. The tread design and width give it not only excellent grip and traction in winter conditions but also low noise levels, which mean enhanced customer comfort.

The new Goodyear Coach tyres feature a combination of technologies, called TravelMax. These technologies include Silefex tread compound, an asymmetric design and latest carcass designs. TravelMax is a key element in the all-round performance these tyres offer. A further advantage offered by both tyresis an increased load carrying capacity in the 295/80R22.5 size resulting in a load index of 154, which represents 3750 kg.
