Fortera HL Goodyear Tires Rated Best Light Truck By Consumer Reports
from:Consumer Reports is well known for their unbiased and scientific reviewing of all kinds of items and services. Many people will not make a large expenditure or one that involves their family's safety, without consulting the Consumer Reports website.
In October Consumer Reports rated the Fortera Goodyear tires as best in 22 different tests of all-season light truck tires. While strong performance in hazardous conditions has always been an attractive trait, all season tires have surpassed all terrain tires in most cases and most years since SUVs have become the most popular family vehicles.
Interestingly, nearly all al-season tires performed quite well with none having a huge flaw or detracting grade. So what made the good year tires stand out? The search for best light truck tires came down to a combination of good wet and dry stopping capabilities. Also, some tires had markedly better performance when dealing with hydroplaning conditions.
The 22 tests consisted of safety related capabilities, such as handling, braking, snow traction and other maneuvers both on dry and wet surfaces. And all the various tire types were tested on the same make and model of vehicle, a Ford Explorer XLT 4x4.
Another Goodyear tire to make top Consumer Reports awards is the Goodyear Assurance Tripletred, which was tested along with 18 other all season tire models. The same pattern revealed itself; the Goodyear tire had that little extra durability and design that it did better than the other tires in braking conditions, cross-weather, as well as in hydroplane conditions, which are, after al, some of the more critical moments about driving and arriving safely at the planned destination.
Where other tries do well in 'winter driving not a factor' categories and other specialized classes, Goodyear tires continue to do well in the most general categories and conditions. When in doubt, go with Goodyear tires. If your vehicle sees a variety of terrain and weather types, chances are Goodyear tires will outlast and out perform their competitors.
