The mid-passenger tire segment is probably the most competitive segment in Malaysia and also the region and tire buyers in this segment are very cost conscious. Their priorities for a new tire purchase are as follows in order of importance:
- Price against wear range
- Wet weather handling (due to our heavy rains and water clogged roads)
- Sidewall strength (due to our badly maintained roads)
- Road noise (tarmac quality)
- High speed handling
- Product warranty
- Brand value
- Tread design
Looking at the needs of this biggest tire segment in Malaysia, Goodyear engineers have worked their ‘magic’ in the laboratory to bring to market a tire that will fill the first 5 above mentioned points first and then leave the last 3 points to their marketing department to work with Malaysian tire shops/retailers.
With this, Goodyear Malaysia has just announced the arrival of the Assurance TripleMax 2 tire designed for the mid-passenger segment. The Assurance TripleMax was first launched in 2013 and has won the trust of major car manufacturers and consumers across the world.
To meet the rising demands from both B2B and B2C stakeholders, the Assurance TripleMax 2 therefore entered the market, designed to improve the safety and durability of the tires. In addition, it is also optimized for excellent grip performance with short braking distance under wet road conditions, enabling drivers to stop faster and drive safer.
The Goodyear Assurance TripleMax 2 is now available for purchase and fitting in almost 200 Goodyear Autocare outlets beginning November 2018. These outlets are available at major towns nationwide to offer a more comprehensive and redefined automotive shopping experience.
