Goodyear secures major sales contract

Goodyear has secured a major sales contract with bus and coach operator Sales-Lentz.  The Luxembourg-based company, which was involved in the field trials of the new Goodyear coach tyres, has just brought in to service 22 new vehicles equipped with the recently-introduced Goodyear Marathon Coach and Ultra Grip Coach tyres.

The reasons for choosing the tyres include the mileage performance they offer which is
down, to a great extent, to the innovative asymmetric tread pattern of the Marathon Coach tyre.

The vehicles ordered include; coaches for touring, buses for operation across Luxembourg and buses for local operations. Having been delivered at the end of December 2012, they have now entered service.

Both Goodyear Marathon Coach and Ultra Grip Coach tyres will  be fitted on the new
vehicles, with the Ultra Grip Coach winter drive tyres mounted on the drive axles. During the winter months the front axles will be fitted with Goodyear  Ultra  Grip  WTS  winter steer tyres and during the summer season Marathon  Coach  tyres  will be used. The vehicles will have 295/80R22.5 or 315/80R22.5 tyres.

Sales-Lentz was one of the coach operators that worked with Goodyear on the field  trials  of  the new Goodyear Marathon Coach tyres and Goodyear Ultra Grip Coach winter tyres prior to their introduction.
