Goodyear OE for new Renault Captur

Renault’s all-new Captur SUV will be fitted with Goodyear’s 215/55R18 95H EfficientGrip Performance tyres, after being chosen as one of the main tyre suppliers. Goodyear will also supply 215/60R17 96H EfficientGrip Performance tyres.

The new Captur has now been updated with the latest technologies and has also received an upgrade on its wheels, with Renault opting this time for Goodyear tyres. Goodyear’s EffficientGrip Performance tyres add the suited level of performance to make the Captur even better than before. As well as the 215/55R18 95H, Goodyear will also supply the 215/60R17 96H.

“Goodyear is proud to supply its 215/55R18 95H EfficientGrip Performance tyres,” says Hans Vrijsen, MD of Goodyear OE in the EMEA region. “We believe these tyres add the perfect level of grip and fuel efficiency for this outstanding SUV. We look forward to joining forces with Renault to give customers the best driving experience.”

The 215/60R17 96H is a class A for fuel efficiency and a class B for wet grip. As tyres account for up to 20 per cent of a vehicle’s fuel consumption, tyres with a high fuel efficiency rating provide more miles, but with lower CO2 emissions. Tyre pressure and the weight of the vehicle, for example, both affect the energy required to roll them – and thus the fuel efficiency of the tyre.

The 215/55R18 95H EfficientGrip Performance tyre boasts class A for wet grip and class B for fuel efficiency.
