Goodyear Electric Drive 2 - 2nd Generation EV-Specific Tire
Comfort Tyre
All season tyre
Asymmetric
Made in U.S.
The ElectricDrive™ 2 builds on its predecessor with enhanced sustainable materials (at least 50% by weight, including soybean oil) and
refined engineering for EV-specific needs.
SoundComfort Technology®: A built-in polyurethane foam layer absorbs road noise, creating a whisper-quiet cabin—crucial for EVs
without engine hum. Users report up to 50% noise reduction compared to standard tires, making long drives more serene.
Optimized Tread Pattern: An asymmetric design with wide circumferential grooves improves wet traction and hydroplaning resistance,
while a long-lasting compound ensures even wear and up to 20% better mileage than the original ElectricDrive™.
Low Rolling Resistance: Aerodynamic sidewalls and a specialized compound reduce drag, potentially extending EV range by 2-5% per
charge—vital for maximizing battery life.
Sustainability Focus: Incorporates recycled and bio-based materials without compromising performance, aligning with Goodyear's
goal of carbon-neutral manufacturing by 2045.
Streamlined Durability: Reinforced sidewalls handle the heavier weight of EVs (often 20-30% more than gas cars),
absorbing impacts for better steering response and longevity.
This tire earns high marks in independent tests for comfort and efficiency,
though some reviewers note it's not the sharpest for aggressive cornering—prioritizing touring over track-day thrills.
