It’s been a month weirdly filled with Goodyear news, and we’ve now got one more to report as the American tyre maker has launched the Assurance TripleMax 2 in Malaysia. The successor to the original TripleMax, introduced in 2013, this new mid-range passenger model boasts improved wet braking performance as well as increased durability.
The company says that the new compound formulation increases stickiness, while the optimised microstructure delivers better grip and braking performance in the wet. The HydroTred Technology is also claimed to optimise the tyre’s footprint and provides more effective contact pressure, with the resulting increase in tyre cornering stiffness and steering precision ensuring better handling performance.
Meanwhile, the new tread pattern is designed to minimise pattern noise throughout the life of the tyre for a smoother, more comfortable ride. Lastly, Goodyear has introduced additional technical features, construction technologies and materials to the sidewall for increased impact resistance.
The Goodyear Assurance TripleMax 2 is now available for purchase and fitting at nearly 200 Goodyear Autocare outlets in major towns nationwide.

Looks good. Goodyear produce good tyres. Good for our pothole roads.
MIchelin primacy st3 is still da best
Two of my car’s use triple max 1 and I must say that it is really good with a lot of grip during the wet.
Triple max 2 do not have the Kevlar reinforced bracket like triple max 1? Is it still made in Thailand?
Any indication of the retail prices and specs Paultan?
Ive been using dunlop, michelin xm2, falken sincera 832 and GY Excellence. GY dry grip is not so good but the WET grip is WOOOW..30% steep.downhill i put low gear oredi slows down in WET..comfort GY wins also over the rest..only dry grip not so good..
