Airbus Picks Goodyear Tires for A321XLR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Goodyear Flight Radial Tire brings a range of benefits and features to the A321XLR:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featherweight Aluminum Core Bead\u2122 Technology: Utilizing aluminum cord beads, the tire achieves weight savings without compromising on tire and bead geometry, strength, and durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merged Cord\u2122 Technology: Combining DuPont\u2122 Kevlar\u00ae with nylon, this technology enhances strength while reducing weight. Further, it minimizes casing growth, providing improved resistance to foreign object damage and exceptional wear resistance for long-lasting tread life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DiamondWeave Belt Technology: Specifically designed to optimize tire performance. Further, this technology ensures optimal treadwear through specialized cord placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an innovative tire, the Goodyear Flight Radial continues the tradition of Goodyear’s long-standing commitment to innovation. With a legacy dating back to 1898, Goodyear has been a driving force in enabling mobility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the company approaches its 125th anniversary in 2023, it remains dedicated to delivering high-quality products and services that keep the world moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
