High mileage.
The flat contour of the Brillantis 2 evenly distributes the ground pressure. This increases mileage.

Greater safety during critical steering manoeuvres.
The asymmetrical tread with a solid outer shoulder gives the tyre good transverse rigidity in the outer shoulder blocks. The result: greater safety for critical steering manoeuvres.

Greater protection against aquaplaning and shorter braking distances on wet roads.
Continuous lateral grooves on the inside and narrow grooves in the blocks allow water to flow away freely. This increases aquaplaning prevention and shortens the braking distances on wet roads.

Low rolling noise.
The reduced width of grooves in the shoulder area and a lower volume of transverse grooves make road noise pleasantly quiet.

Ideal for large and fast cars.  For everything from wet and cold to snow white.

• Improved safety against aquaplaning
• Improved handling on wet surfaces
• Very good traction on snow

Improved safety against aquaplaning. Wide open grooves in the centre and shoulders increase water flow away from the contact surface. At the same time a high void volume increases the patterns ability to absorb water. Both factors lead to more safety under wet road conditions.

Improved handling on wet surfaces. The special compound of rain tyres developed for the wet ensures more effective grip on the road. Large rigid shoulder blocks reduce deformation under load, especially on bends. Both lead to better handling on wet surfaces.

Very good traction on snow. A high number of sipes provide additional gripping edges. This leads to a better interlocking of the tread with the snow and thus better traction.

NA-1 adopts uniquely asymmetric pattern design. The inside pattern stresses on drainage performance. Larger void ratio improves drainage performance on wet roads. The enlarged third section of tread radius lessen contact pressure of tread shoulder, and further reduce the noise generated from the lateral grooves on tread shoulder.

Light-weight profile and narrow tread width design reduce rolling resistance. The outside pattern emphasizes on maneuverability, The larger pattern blocks on tread shoulder offers better cornering handling. Noise prevention bar on the lateral grooves of outside tread shoulder block airflow in the grooves to reduce the derived noise. Chamfered groove wall design scarifies the water film for getting better wet grip.

The fuel-saving tyre for long life and confident wet or dry handling

The new Goodyear EfficientGrip Compact combines high mileage and fuel efficiency with shorter braking distances in wet or dry.

Environmentally friendly. A stiffer tread design reduces rolling resistance, resulting in lower CO2 emissions, while regular wear means longer tyre life and less waste generated.

Shorter braking distances on wet and dry roads. A new tread design features dual wide grooves, extra large sipes and multiple biting edges to cut through surface water for improved braking in the wet.

Better resistance to aquaplaning. A rounder cavity shape stops the accumulation of water in front of the tyre to help prevent aquaplaning.

Improved fuel efficiency and mileage. Advances in tyre components and construction reduce overall tyre weight by 5%* for improved rolling resistance, while optimised pressure distribution promotes even tyre wear.

FuelSaving Technology

Better fuel efficiency and value By improving manufacturing materials and techniques, Goodyear have shaved 5%* off the tyre's weight. This reduces rolling resistance, so you'll save on fuel and enjoy better mileage. Improved pressure distribution across the tyre means you'll also benefit from more even wear across the treads.

Environmentally friendly A lower rolling resistance also makes the tyre more eco-friendly, as its lower fuel consumption means less CO2 emissions. Because it wears evenly, the tyre will also need to be replaced less frequently, which helps reduce waste.

Improved braking in all conditions Extra wide grooves and plenty of sharp biting edges for slicing through surface water feature on the EfficientGrip Compact's new tread design, to deliver shorter braking distances in both rainy and dry weather.

Aquaplaning resistance Feel safe on the road in all weathers with tyres designed to reduce aquaplaning. Rounder cavity shapes prevent water from building up in front of the tyre, to reduce the risk of aquaplaning.
