Goodyear has published a holiday-season guide highlighting four tires from its brand family, along with installation options and branded merchandise. The Akron, Ohio, company said the selection is meant to cover drivers who want sport performance, work and towing capability, all-weather traction or off-road use.

Four tires for different kinds of driving

The Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season is positioned as a sport performance tire for year-round driving, with wet braking capability and grip in light snow. The Eagle name has been used on Goodyear performance tires for more than 45 years. In 1992, McLaren launched the McLaren F1, then the world's fastest production car, with a Guinness World Record speed of 240.1 mph. Goodyear developed a special Eagle F1 tire for that car, and its directional tread pattern later influenced Eagle road tires. This year, Goodyear launched a global campaign called Fast Is In Us around the Eagle performance family.

The all-new Cooper Discoverer HT is designed for trucks and SUVs used for work, family driving or towing. It is offered in metric and LT fitments and is built for a stable ride and performance under heavy loads, with a tread pattern intended for even wear. Goodyear said 3D Micro-Gauge sipes add biting edges as the tire wears. It is backed by up to a 70,000-mile limited treadwear warranty.

The Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady 2 is an all-weather tire that uses what the company calls All-Weather Technology, with a tread compound intended to adapt across conditions. AquaTred technology and sweeping Evolving Traction Grooves are designed to help move water and slush away from the tire. The tire carries the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMS) designation, has a built-in wear gauge and comes with a 60-day satisfaction guarantee.

The Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T is described as a premium, extreme hybrid all-terrain tire for on-road handling and tread wear as well as mud and snow. It has an asymmetric tread pattern, a silica-reinforced compound for wet handling and braking, and Extreme Sidebiters for traction and protection on LT sizes. LT sizes also use PowerPly XD three-ply construction for added puncture resistance. Sizes 12.50 (315) and narrower carry the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol. The treadwear warranty is up to 60,000 miles on SUV sizes and 50,000 miles on LT sizes. The line is available in the United States and Canada.

Installation and merchandise

Goodyear said shoppers can search for a fitment by vehicle, tire size, license plate or VIN on its website. Professional installation is offered at Goodyear Auto Service and Just Tires stores, or at a driver's home, work or another approved location through Goodyear Mobile Garage Service in 27 U.S. markets. Appointments for the mobile service can be scheduled online. The company-owned retail network has more than 500 stores nationwide, and every store offers tire installation plus alignments, oil changes, brakes and batteries. With any service, customers receive a complimentary Courtesy Tire & Maintenance Inspection covering tire pressure and tread depth, plus the battery, brakes and accessible fluids. Recent openings include the Goodyear Motor City Garage in Detroit.

Goodyear also pointed to merchandise in its Signature Shop, including apparel, accessories, blimp-inspired items and products for pets.
