Goodyear Gains Grade A Rating From Fendt Tractors

Goodyear has been awarded the top level, grade A rating in the suppliers award program from the Fendt tractor company, Germany. This prestigious program recognizes the achievements of suppliers in the categories of quality, logistics, service and environmental management.

Goodyear sees this grade A rating as recognition of the programs we have in place to continuously improve our products and services as well as our commitment to excellent customer service and satisfaction. says Alessandro Coggi, Managing Director, Farm and Industrial Tyres Goodyear Europe.

Goodyear has been supplying several sizes from its Optitrac range to Fendt for many years including the latest addition to the range, the Optitrac R.

The Optitrac R+ range can carry up to 31% more load, and generate significantly higher traction than standard tyres and can also operate at speeds up to 70 km/h.  Optitrac R+ is suitable for on-road driving at field tyre inflation levels and widens the performance spectrum while maintaining conventional tyre widths. R+ converts more machine power into traction and is therefore ready for the new generation of powerful, high-speed tractors such as the Fendt 900 series which features the 710/75R42 and 650/65R34 Optitrac R+ sizes.
