> Goodyear's New Off-Road Tire Wins Popular Mechanics Award
> 21943lt-1199
> LAS VEGAS, Nov. 3 - Goodyear's most aggressive off-road tire ever received
> Tuesday night one of Popular Mechanics Editor's Choice Awards for New
> Products.
>
> Popular Mechanics editors selected the Wrangler MT/R off-road tire from
more
> than 9,000 displays and too many new products to count at the Automotive
> Aftermarket Industry Week here. The ultra-durable off-road tire took top
> billing at the Goodyear display, a first for a Wrangler tire.
>
> Wrangler MT/R will be available at retailers in the spring; however, the
> tire's already gaining rave reviews.
>
> Legendary off-road racer Walker Evans used Wrangler MT/R off-road tires
last
> weekend to clinch the Championship Off Road Racing championship in his
final
> CORR race in Las Vegas.
>
> Evans raced this season on 17-inch Wrangler MT/R off-road tires, which he
> called "the toughest tires I've ever raced on." The 60-year-old racer
> notched two wins this season at Joliet, Ill., and Crandon, Wis.
>
> The tires also are winning at a slower pace. Two Arizona off-road drivers
> used the Goodyear tire in late September to climb atop the Goodyear
Extreme
> Rock Crawling Championship in Farmington, N.M.
>
> Only five of the 12 vehicles in the finals were equipped with the new
> Wrangler, yet it was on four of the top five finishers.
>
> The secret to the tire's winning ways? Try a new Durawall puncture
resistant
> technology that uses high-tech silica compounds, three polyester plies and
> tread elements that extend down the sidewall to resist tire sidewall
> punctures, a common problem in off-road travel.
>
> Ron Wells, marketing manager for Goodyear light-truck tires, said the
> tiremaker has employed state-of-the-art technology in a normally low-tech
> segment - in tires designed to travel through mud and over rocks.
>
> Wells said the biggest test for the Wrangler MT/R will come in the
> marketplace this spring. If early reactions are any indication, the tire
> should be a winner. Wells accepted Popular Mechanics' award from publisher
> Jay McGill and Joe Oldham, editor-in-chief.
>
> First impressions are vital in the tire industry, and Wells already is
> predicting that reactions to the Wrangler MT/R tire will rival the popular
> Aquatred II passenger car tire.
>
> "Everyone who has seen it has gone 'ga-ga' over it," Wells said. By the
way,
> Webster's defines "ga-ga" as wildly enthusiastic.
>
> "Wrangler MT/R's aggressive tread design and notched sidewalls convey
> unbridled traction. Performance notwithstanding, people will be attracted
to
> this tire based solely on its raw, brute looks.
>
> "I've had people clamoring for this tire, even before it won the
> rock-crawling championship. They like the tire's looks. I believe Wrangler
> MT/R strikes a responsive chord among consumers with a radically different
> appearance and its ability to maneuver on slippery surfaces," he said.
>
> The tire initially will be available in early 2000 in nine sizes,
including:
> 30x9.50R15, 31x10.50R15, 32x11.50R15, 33x12.50R15, 35x12.50R15,
LT235/75R15,
> LT245/75R16 E, LT285/75R16 D and LT235/85R16 E.
