Manila, Philippines–As it celebrates its 100th year in the country, Goodyear Philippines announced the latest tire to carry the legacy of the award-winning Wrangler family, the Wrangler AT SilentTrac.
Through the years, Goodyear has pioneered products to give drivers confidence both on- and off-road such as the launch of its Efficient grip Performance SUV in 2017, which dubbed as the quietest SUV tire with QuietTred Technology that minimizes road noise and vibrations to comfort drivers and grip experience.
With 100 years of driving tire innovation and safety in the Philippines, Goodyear has had a positive impact on the Filipino driving experience, both on- and off-road, and is celebrating its 100th year with its next tire innovation–the Wrangler AT SilentTrac, a new all-terrain tire with enhanced DuraWall Technology for an exceptional on- and off-road performance.
It tailors the new product offering for confident drivers with a strong desire for adventure and the freedom to explore with full control over the wheels. Packed with the latest features of DuraWall Technology, drivers will experience an all-terrain drive with an extended mileage and quietness on the road.
Following the success of the Wrangler AT/SA, the Wrangler AT SilentTrac enhances driver’s experience by providing rugged toughness while delivering a smooth drive, plus an impressive on- and off-road handling performance without the noise. The improved rigid shoulder blocks and optimized tread pattern design deliver outstanding strength and reduced road noise for a quieter ride, while also resulting in excellent mileage and on- and off-road performance.
Alex Ng, Goodyear Market Director for the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Distributor Markets stated, “it thrills us to introduce this new product to cater to the growing SUV and pick-up truck markets in the Philippines. SUV and pick-up truck drivers can leisurely drive on rough roads with Wrangler AT SilentTrac’s increased traction and toughness and drive home on paved roads with comfort.”
