On June 16, Dalian Goodyear Tire Co., Ltd. announced the launch of the first domestically produced high-performance passenger tire, the EagleF1GS-D3, based on its innovative "extractable coagulation" technology. This advanced tire is set to hit the market in July and is specifically designed for luxury vehicles, offering enhanced performance in both wet and dry conditions.
The EagleF1GS-D3 features an integrated tread design that combines solid central ribs with strong shoulder blocks, connected by a unique extreme V-ribbed structure. This design significantly improves wet grip, dry handling, and ride comfort, delivering a racing-like driving experience. The tire’s crown is made from a rubber tile with a non-slip, non-slip silicone compound, providing superior traction and braking performance on both dry and wet surfaces.
The seamless center rib ensures precise steering, while the uninterrupted tread and shoulder connection help distribute pressure evenly, enhancing acceleration and braking efficiency. The closed shoulder design boosts lateral rigidity, offering better dry cornering performance. The extreme V-shaped grooves are aligned perpendicular to the edge of the contact patch, allowing air to be fully channeled into the grooves, reducing noise and improving stability.
According to Michael Martins, chairman and general manager of Dalian Goodyear Tire Co., Ltd., the EagleF1GS-D3 is a successor to the GS-D2 model, which was first launched in Europe in February 2002. The new model has already started production at Dalian Goodyear and is expected to be available this July. The previous GS-D2 model, introduced in 1997, has sold over two million units so far.
Martins also revealed that Dalian Goodyear will begin producing run-flat tires (EMT) in 2006, offering improved safety, handling, and convenience. In addition, Goodyear's U.S. headquarters has decided to reinvest $120 million (approximately 1 billion yuan) to expand its facilities in Dalian. This expansion aims to increase production capacity from 7,500 to 15,000 tire strips per day, meeting the growing demand for replacement and accessory tires in China.
Established in September 1994, Dalian Goodyear Tire Co., Ltd. was the first subsidiary of Goodyear in China. With 600 employees, the company supplies exclusive tires for models such as the BMW 3 Series, BMW 5 Series, Audi A6 2.8, and Peugeot 307. All tires are transported in containers without individual packaging, minimizing environmental impact.
Key features of the EagleF1GS-D3 include:
1. High-definition steel wire belt: Enhances sensitivity and resistance to surface impacts.
2. Spiral-wound crown cord: Ensures smoothness and high-speed stability.
3. High curtain turn-ups: Offers sensitivity and protection against mechanical damage.
4. Halobutyl inner liner: Provides excellent airtightness.
5. Integrated tread with extreme V-pattern and non-slip drainage silicone formula: Delivers strong wet and dry grip, along with quiet driving.
6. Wheel protection rubber strip: Shields the wheel hub from road debris.
7. Pitch-optimized ply: Improves steering responsiveness and cornering power.
With these innovations, the EagleF1GS-D3 marks a significant step forward in high-performance tire technology, offering drivers a blend of comfort, control, and safety.
