SHANGHAI, April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (Goodyear) showcased its leadership in tire technologies during Auto Shanghai 2025. First held in 1985, Auto Shanghai is China’s oldest auto exhibition and is considered as an important major international auto show.
Greg Hanna, Vice President of Product Development & Quality for Goodyear Asia Pacific delivered a keynote themed “Tire Technologies Shape a Better Future” at the Auto Key Tech Forum.
Marking a historic moment, this event witnessed China’s Intelligent Chassis Working Group engaging with tire companies for the first time, with Goodyear leading as the first tire company to participate.
“The tire is the only part of the vehicle that contacts the road, making it a critical source of information about the interaction between the vehicle and the driving surface. As a technology pioneer, Goodyear has been advancing tire intelligence for over a decade. We established a dedicated sub-brand called SightLine, focused exclusively on delivering innovative tire intelligence solutions.” stated Hanna.
Goodyear SightLine revolutionizes tire management and safety. SightLine encompasses a wide range of features, including precise tire pressure monitoring, real-time wear status tracking, tire remaining mileage analysis, tire load, road surface condition monitoring, tire-road friction estimation, aquaplaning detection, and adaptive tire models. Based on the recent demo drive with consumers and media members, Goodyear SightLine is praised for its two unique features: intelligent tire-road insights on real-time estimation of road friction, aquaplaning, tire physics model and a lifecycle dynamic monitoring function that continuously tracks and reports tire wear, remaining mileage, pressure, temperature and load changes to the vehicle system.
Goodyear Electric Drive Sustainable Materials Tire, China’s first ISCC mark retail tire containing more than 70% sustainable materials has also been featured at the forum.
