All Goodyear Passenger Tyres Now “EV-Ready”
Goodyear has officially confirmed that all its passenger tyres are now classified as “EV-ready.” This means that every Goodyear tyre in the passenger segment is designed to meet the unique demands of electric vehicles, including higher torque, increased weight, and the need for enhanced durability.
The announcement follows the company’s growing focus on sustainability and innovation in the electric mobility sector. Goodyear said its latest tyre technologies, such as advanced tread compounds and noise reduction patterns, ensure that the same tyre model can perform equally well on both EVs and internal combustion vehicles.
This approach removes the need for separate EV-only products, simplifying choices for both consumers and dealers. The company’s decision also highlights its readiness for the future of transport as EV adoption accelerates globally.
Goodyear’s European product line has already included the EV-ready label for some time, and this certification now applies worldwide. The move aligns with Goodyear’s broader sustainability goals, which include reducing rolling resistance and improving efficiency to support lower emissions and energy consumption.
Editor’s View:
Goodyear’s universal EV-ready certification signals a major shift in how tyre makers approach the market. Instead of creating two parallel product lines, one for EVs and one for conventional vehicles, Goodyear is betting on unified design and smarter materials.
For the tyre industry, this could simplify logistics, reduce manufacturing complexity, and encourage consumers to see tyres as adaptable technology rather than category-specific products. As electric vehicles become the norm, EV-ready tyres might just become the default standard for the entire passenger segment.
