Goodyear the choice of the Land Rover Experience Tour in Southern-African

Goodyear will equipped 16 Land Rover Discovery vehicles with its Wrangler DuraTrac tyres for the bi-annual Land Rover Experience Tour.

This year will see participants tackle 2,000km of rugged African roads across the Kavango-Zambezi (Kaza) National Park, the second largest nature reserve in the world, which spans parts of the Southern-African countries Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac is developed to cope with the toughest terrains, including deep sandy slopes, sandy tracks, thorny savannah bushes and overgrown gravel roads, all of which the participants will encounter during their adventures.

The Wrangler DuraTrac tyres have been tested on similar adventures around the globe over the past 30 years.

For the off-road parts, drivers can benefit from Goodyear’s TractiveGroove technology, which enhances traction on mud. The Wrangler DuraTrac tyres are also designed to overcome curb-like heights, rapidly evacuate gravel, dirt and mud and automatically improve the vehicle’s traction and lateral stability, while reducing road noise.

“We are thrilled to provide our Wrangler DuraTrac tyres for the Land Rover Experience Tour”, said Mike Rytokoski, chief marketing officer Europe at Goodyear. “It shows once more that when Land Rover wants to push their vehicles to the limit, they use Goodyear tyres.”
