For its new Avenger all-electric SUV, Jeep has chosen a range of Goodyear’s summer and all-season tires to be fitted to the vehicle as original equipment.
The OEM selected the tire maker’s Vector 4Seasons Gen-3, EfficientGrip Performance 2 and EfficientGrip 2 SUV for OE fitment to the vehicle.
The OEM selected the tires for their noise reduction characteristics and optimized rolling resistance, which lend the tires well to fitment on an electric vehicle. Other features include the Vector 4Seasons Gen-3’s performance in wet conditions and its dry braking and enhanced dry handling attributes.
The selected summer tires are the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 and EfficientGrip 2 SUV, which feature a flexible tread which helps reduce fractures caused by rough road surfaces.
The Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 will be supplied in a size 215/60R17 100V, the EfficientGrip Performance 2 in a 215/55R18 99V XL, and the EfficientGrip 2 SUV in a 215/60R17 96H.
“Our range of summer and all-season tires makes us uniquely positioned to be selected to supply the ground-breaking Jeep Avenger, the first ever Jeep vehicle to be launched with an all-electric version,” said Hans Vrijsen, managing director consumer OE, Goodyear EMEA.
“Our tires perfectly complement the Avenger’s advanced capabilities, showcasing our commitment to delivering innovative solutions for electric vehicles.”
