Proven: Goodyear DuraPlus can last 100,000 kms

When Goodyear launched its 100,000-km tyre – the DuraPlus – there were skeptics among consumers and understandably so. 100,000 kms represents about 4 - 5 years of motoring for many people and the idea of a tyre being able to last that long was a bit hard to accept. Furthermore, the DuraPlus is not one of the expensive specialized tyres with an exotic compound that was specially developed for long life; it is actually an affordably-priced tyre intended for what Goodyear refers to as the 'value segment’.

Prior to launch, enough testing by their own engineers had given confidence to Richard Fleming, Goodyear’s ASEAN Managing Director, to boldly make the claim. Not only had the tyres been tested in Goodyear’s own facilities but also on Asian roads so there was no uncertainty about the capability to go 100,000 kms. Of course, that figure depends very much on various factors such as proper care of the tyres (alignment, balancing, pressure) and also driving conditions. Goodyear is confident that most motorists will get the claimed mileage but as Mr Fleming said, it is a 'claim’ and not a 'guarantee’.
