Tires don't usually get much attention, especially at auto shows where cars reign supreme, but this year was different. Goodyear shocked the public with its bold vision of tires. The Goodyear Eagle-360 tire is round! The American tire brand is reinventing the tire with the spherical tire. It is based on 117 years of tire manufacturing experience and imitation of nature. And how does it hold up to the car? Goodyear prepared for this question as well.
Goodyear brought the successor of the revolutionary spherical tire to the Geneva Motor Show, which got smart. It is a concept made with the help of a 3D printer, the Eagle 360 Urban, which is an upgrade of the Eagle 360 tire from 2016. The interactive novelty is equipped with artificial intelligence and is able to sense the environment, change shape and heal itself.
With the Oxygene concept, Goodyear broke the myth of a rolling stone on which moss does not grow. Not literally, of course, but their latest tire is like something from another planet, and moss is one of its components.
Goodyear has prepared a very special reCharge tire that will renew itself and adapt to the driver's driving style. The technology is based on spider silk, and the innovative tires will be particularly suitable for electric cars.
Goodyear and BRM Chronographes have joined forces to create an exclusive collection of prestigious timepieces that represents an interesting milestone in Goodyear's rich racing history, interspersed with many successes.
Yesterday, the Challenge4 team embarked on a journey of almost 18,000 kilometers from Norway to South Africa, which they intend to cover in just ten days.

The Goodyear Aero tire was one of the many novelties of the Geneva Motor Show. With a flood of hot sheet metal, anything could happen quickly to be overlooked. The fear was unnecessary, because it is a futuristic idea that even includes flying autonomous cars!
I am proud that I was one of the first in the world to drive a non-pneumatic Goodyear tire of the future and was part of the "Beyond tires" event, where I learned what the smart tires of the future will be able to do.
