Short notice given only substantially as follows: DuPont and Goodyear have collaborated to develop tyres featuring para-aramid fibre reinforcements. The Goodyear Wrangler MT/R reinforced with DuPont's Kevlar is the first off-road tyre in the USA that exploits the fibre to enhance the sidewall's cut- and puncture-resistances. Sidewalls reinforced with Kevlar have a sidewall puncture resistance that is about 35 % higher than the original Wrangler MT/R, a tyre itself developed for its toughness. Goodyear's subsidiary Dunlop, has unveiled a future concept tyre technology in Europe - an ultralightweight tyre with Kevlar fibre replacing traditional steel components. The tyre is 20 % lighter in weight but still enjoys good performance. The Dunlop SP Sport MaxxTT has lower sidewalls, which are reinforced with Kevlar. A motorsports inspired tread and Dunlop's exclusive Touch Technology combine to help deliver strong grip and good steering response.
