Goodyear releases 110,000km long-life DuraPlus 2 tyre
By CARSIFU | 30 September 2019



KUALA LUMPUR: Goodyear Malaysia has released its second-generation Assurance DuraPlus 2 tyre that boasts of 110,000km durability without compromising on safety and performance thanks to its TredLife Technology.

"This tyre features some of our latest advancements, for example, an innovative tread pattern and re-formulated compound to offer extended tread life, optimum grip, and minimal road noise for absolute peace-of-mind,” said Goodyear Malaysia managing director Alex Ng.

The DuraPlus 2 is now available at all Goodyear AutoCare centres across Malaysia, with sizes ranging from 13 to 16-inch and retails from RM136 to RM293.

The tyre mileage projection was tested by Goodyear Testing Division in sizes 185/65R14 and 205/55R16 on roads in Thailand, although the company also declared that actual mileage may vary due to road conditions, type of terrain, vehicle, tyre pressure and maintenance, climate and driving styles among others.

The new tyre boasts of a new-designed tread and cavity shape coupled with a re-formulated long-lasting compound.

The tread pattern now comes with a symmetrical-design with a larger tread width that allows for a larger contact patch with the road at any given time, and also a higher level of flexibility to rotate in the event of irregular wear.

Additionally, an enhanced cavity shape helps to provide a more squarish and balanced footprint to evenly distribute contact pressure, leading to extended mileage.

Narrow lateral grooves along the side of the tyres, on the other hand, assist in reducing road noise caused by air pumping.

Noise is further reduced with the use of rubber strips between the ply and liner to physically dampen any vibrations.

Through an enhanced compound formula, the tyre’s tensile strength and wear resistance have been significantly improved to ensure high mileage performance.

The use of this compound is not only presented throughout the tread but also along the sidewall to offer long-term resistance against damage caused by environmental factors.

Furthermore, the tyre uses a minimum of two layers of high modulus, low shrinkage ply material in the sidewall which helps to ensure strong resistance to external impacts.

“The new Assurance DuraPlus 2 features TredLife Technology, which is essentially a combination of the symmetrical tread pattern, improved compound and 2-ply construction throughout the tyre. These elements increase the overall durability of the tyre, to deliver unmatched mileage tread life, which is important in a country like Malaysia that has a variety of road conditions,” said Goodyear Malaysia product manager Benjamin Chong.

Can last 110,000km?

Tipu la

using nct5. dunno when thread can habis

Deswai need those labrat to test

My P3ST i change at 40k km. Now my car almost 120k already. 3 years usage. Still no need to change la. Treadwear so low. Now that is proven long lasting tayar

How many kms already?

Simple review please.

Nice to drive ah? Not noisy af?

fark, i just recently bought a set of duraplus '1' tires.

Alamak i feel u bro

So any short review? Compare to your previous tyres how

Lanciao tyres. I hv since changed to toyo neo3 so much smoother drive. I wonder whether duraplus 2 will beat toyo neo3

i use 165/60r13 of original duraplus, noisy at first few thousand KMs, but after a while not much noisy. but still cant beat hankook or dunlop j5 in term of noise, but both of those wears faster la.

you ask again after 3-4 years la
duraplus 1 is noisier and less comfortable compared to other brands like dunlop j5 or hankook kinergy ex, viking or even silverstone tires. cant comment on duraplus 2 lol.

but will i use again? yes, if it can last long2 as what their claim, wet performance is acceptable for me. stay away from falken, the least noise out of economy tires, but kinda bad grip when it come to braking and bad wet performance.

tayar pilihan pemandu grabcar

durability and comfort don't come together when it comes to tyres

those silverstones also take forever to wear but the noise will make u pekak

using toyo proxes t1r damn the tyre burn rubber so fast compared to my yokohama last time.

can
but zero grip, traction and noisy AF
there is a price to pay for these kind of tyres

Durable means hard wearing rubber...grip affected.
No thank you

Claim last 110,000km.

50,000km botak.
Send in for warranty.
"Oh, 110,000 at normal driving pattern. Yours not normal so your claim is rejected."

Try harder

I am using silverstone. Really last super long. And is really cheap as a local product. But as usual, the tyre noise is not good.

cheating one. old model claim that can last 100k km but 50~60km already wear off.

Or pay rm100 extra for quite, durability, comfort and safety.

And yeah ayam a Mich fanbois

When it comes to safety I will not save money on this
Two things I will not save....tyres and brake pads.

Don't know why there are people who will buy the cheapest but safety comes second

still got car using 13", myvi use 14"?

Wow. How do you drive?

My p3st changed every 60k.

Kakaka want 110k km later 100k km excident then died. Ahahha worth it.

This

i am using duraplus 1. 2.5 years already still good but a little noisy due to the tyre a little hard.. kevlar compound? clocked nearly 50-60k already

My XM2 last time can last 90k km but after 50k km, the noise is unbearable

lab test running on smooth marble surface of course can last >100k la

sure bising wan

> Long lasting
> Noise performance

Pick one

No such thing as both criteria with current rubber blending mixtures and additives.

You want low NVH then the threads won't last until 50-60K KM (let alone 100K KM)

You want long lasting, the rubber will harden by your 3-4th year of usage.

Thats 4 hundred extra

80k km usage so far

At 100k km (after 60k usage), i rotated the front tyres to rear. Now this two tayar side bunga almost gone but still there, the centre bunga condition now bout 60% only.

The front tyre now (which were my rear tyre) are almost like new. Or maybe i can say 80% condition. Gonna have to buy replacement for the rear next year iguess

Axia or bezza I think 13
Myvi 14

Would you prefer good 80k km mileage tayar with extra 100 each

Or

You prefer cheap and bad tayar 100 lesser that needs to be changed after 40k km mileage?

im the best person to review it. the myvi clocked 200k km ady. cant rmmbr chgd how many times full set. but been using this tyre ever since. normal city driving. no complaints.

this fella maybe knows more. using pilot ss on the track car.

Ur p3st driving mode speed? I am frequent hiway user.

Why cheap out on tires? Unless if you earn 2-3k per month, then okay la I can understand

W

205/55 R16 91W

Perodua's cars now minium 14" tyres..

but michelin only qoute 20% longer than its competitor, so how come can get double?
https://www.michelin.com.my/auto/tyres/michelin-energy-xm2

I donno about XM2 but primacy series have 60k miles wareanty. That is about 100k km

primacy4 or ps4 better?

i visit michelin MY website, no mentioned of such 60k miles warranty.
if if they did able to do 100,000km with softer rubber, shouldn't they brag about it like what goodyear did with their duraplus series?

Ya they don't mention in MY website. But does it matter? What matter is the user experience. My p3st not exactly 80k la but maybe around 75k km. Next year i thibk have to change rear oredi which i estimated will reach 85k km usage

Easy to say
Primacy touring range
PS sport range
XM eco tires

Which is better for you depends on your driving, your vehicles, available sizes and your money.

Use such tyres sure can't brake in time

I used duraplus 1 long time ago. The grip sucks to the max......kinda scary too

PSS terus

Longer mileage is not my concern. My car mileage is approx 10,000 km per year. It's the years of weather exposure that worry me most. Don't forget nails/sharp objects on the road too

Why I see lazada got primacy 4 ST? Fake news? Same with primacy 4?

They put ST which is correct la. ST means silent tyres

can. at zero friction surface

There is no primacy 4 ST, never seen or heard of one before.
Maybe they put the ST sign so that ppl don't confuse PS4 and P4.
So far never heard of Michelin fake tires for cars.
But for bikes I've encountered some maybe fake ones, but actually it is older models or for other regions.

But seriously, I don't want to confuse ppl, I've seen a few luxury cars with PS4ST. Probably as OEM tires. But you can't buy those at the Michelin shop.

Listen to this guy. He our fello ktard tayar expert.

im more interested in how many years can last under our tropical hot weather.
most of us cant even reach 110k km in 5 years because mostly driving short distance but in heavy traffic jam....

True, then comes the maintenance, ppl buy tires expect to last 100K, but no send tires for maintenance, end up cracking, premature and uneven wear.

my silverstone tread last forever, but it becomes swollen in few area.
shop said quality issue, but warranty dont think have it.

settled with Dunlop J5

maximum I go for Michelin ps3 at 88k km. totally gone on the thread.

already maximize it by take care alignment, balancing, rotation avery 6 month or so.

thats just 4 to 5 years regular driving. so yes, can last that long. ive been using duraplus on my iswara ever since they stopped making the eagle GA. current set have been on my wheels for more than 4 years now (granted, i dont use my iswara very often). tread still thick. but ride comfort is low. the rubber is quite hard now so road noise is higher. im planning on changing them out soon just because i feel its unsafe to drive on old tyres.

J5 vs this one?

which one better?

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/michelin...s615547517.html?

So this one is primacy? Donno why he labelled it as such. Make ppl confuse only

Reading the comment here makes me wonder.. am i make the right decision 😅 im not really care abt the long lasting 1 but more to grip.. well i just change my other tyre yesterday, front tyre after 47k which is the stock gy gt3 to gy duraplus.. i forgot d 1 i want is triplemax2... the other 2 change earlier, after 44k.. conti cc5 which i put at rear.. so front gy duraplus, rear conti cc5.. how the grip with both tyre? Is it acceptable or so so? Im pretty satisfy with the eagle ga back day for my mom BLM but i think they stop making it now since i cant find it anymore..

Want grip get Michelin ps3

Using Yoko s drive. Never regretted.

AD08 on my AXIA

gooding

Noted.. can b an option in the future

But now since i jz got this duraplus yesterday n cc5, 3 month ago i wonder how is the grip based on each experiance

not ducaro ga that time?

I got a friend working with Michelin Malaysia. ST tyres means manufacture for SEA use as the rubber compound is different from Europe made.

guys dunlop j5 vs goodyear atm2 which is better?

spirited driving. cilok here n there, fast during rain.

then get proper tires and not all this eco tires.

this duraplus is like silverstone tires but in reputable brand name.

u do spirited driving, cilok here n there and fast during wet
and you're considering eco tyres?

u planning to use the leftover money for funeral service isn't it?
or you're putting it to your life insurance that your family is the beneficiaries

Provided if u keep your car's suspension condition (lower arm, bushes, alignment and camber) to the absolute fullest u just might be able to get full life out of it

atm2 is eco tyre? i know atm2 is hard compound
while j5 is soft compound. should have decent grip as ps3... lul

no experience with ATM
but i'm on dunlop SP sport now due to puncture and it's not good at all
ATM based on price point should be okay

i knew one accord user bought the PS4 but made from spain. the different is it does not last long in our hot weather, the rubber kinda easy to botak than mine SEA made PS4 after 20k km.

Yes that's exactly what happen to me. I remember years ago I spend a lot of money buying Italian made pirelli Tyre. Shitty mileage, my friend buy made in prc pirelli Tyre awesome mileage. Apparently pirelli Tyre manufacted in PRC is specifically for SEA countries. Different rubber compound.
