Goodyear Eagles take flight with carbon fiber
Goodyear is adding carbon fiber to its latest generation of Eagle tires. Dubbed 'ResponsEdge Technology with Carbon Fiber,' the company's new shoes match a carbon fiber sidewall ring with a Kevlar overlay and an asymmetrical tread design. According to the company line, the exotic construction enables the tire to offer better ride and all-season capability for sport sedan owners seeking a performance edge.
H and V-rated tires are at tire stockists now, with Z-rated rubber expected later this fall.

A far superior display of engineering than those silly Frenchy "tweels".

Add the words 'carbon fiber' or 'titanium' to any product you have and watch it's credibility soar!!!

It would be nice if they combined this CarbonFiber+Kevlar tech with their Assurance tread pattern...
