SilentArmor Technology Debuts in New Goodyears

Goodyear has launched two new SUV/pickup truck products for spring 2005, the Goodyear Fortera featuring SilentArmor Technology and the Wrangler featuring SilentArmor Technology. Both of the Silent Armor tires feature an Armor Zone that is comprised of a layer made with DuPont KEVLAR, a Durawall sidewall to help withstand cuts, and a rugged Rim Guard that protects wheels from curb damage. The Kevlar material, along with a computer aided design, is designed to provide a smooth ride with minimal road noise while maintaining off-road capability.
