Goodyear India launches tubeless radial tyres

K.R. Srivats

 

AURANGABAD, June 19

 

GOODYEAR India has launched tubeless radial tyres for the passenger car category, making it the first tyre manufacturer in the country to offer a complete tubeless tyre range for all types of passenger cars.

 

``Their tubeless radial tyres will now be available under all the existing brands such as GPS-2 and Eagle NCT 3 for the small, mid-size as well as luxury cars produced and perfected for India,'' Mr. E. Krishnaiah, Sales & Marketing Director, Goodyear India, told newspersons here today.

 

The entire range of tubeless passenger radial tyres will be manufactured at the Aurangabad facility of South Asia Tyres Ltd, a subsidiary of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co, of the US.

Outlining the benefits of using tubeless tyres, senior company officials said, ``Tubeless tyres will not result in sudden blasts in case of a puncture and there would only be slow air loss.''

They explained that in a tubeless tyre, a rubber liner or a strip would replace the conventional tube and this rubber strip would hold the compressed air which takes the load during the operation of the vehicle.

 

They said a tubeless tyre weighed less and would also offer better comfort and control at high speeds for the driver.

 

On the pricing aspect, Mr. Krishnaiah said the tubeless tyres would ``initially be available at more or less the same price of a tube type tyre''. He said that the future pricing strategy would be difficult to predict as that would depend on how the tubeless tyre concept was accepted in the country.

 

He said Goodyear was keen to spread the concept of tubeless tyres among the Indian consumers, tyre dealers and those involved in repair of tyres. ``They plan to educate the consumers, dealers and others through their advertising campaigns and personal interactions,'' Mr. Krishnaiah said.

 

On whether he anticipated any campaigns against the concept of tubeless tyre from his competitors, he said that ``anything is possible''. He also said that Goodyear had no immediate plans to introduce ``run-flat'' tyres in the country.

 

Company officials said the entire range of Goodyear tubeless passenger car radials would be available in all its 140 `Tyre Centres' as well as in about 150 multi-brand outlets across the country in a few days' time. Both television and print media campaigns were also being launched to announce the introduction of Goodyear tubeless tyres, they said.

 

Mr Krishnaiah said the launch of tubeless radial tyres would improve the export potential of Goodyear India and was expected to enhance the confidence of the company's sales force.
