FAQ
Is the Goodyear ElectricDrive good?
Yes, for electric vehicles, because Goodyear designed it specifically for EVs: a compound that handles instant torque, a casing that carries battery weight, and a tread and resin-blended compound that help wet grip.
Is the Goodyear ElectricDrive quiet?
Yes. Quiet is a deliberate focus for Goodyear, with a sound barrier layer, a noise and vibration absorbing layer, and a tread pattern that helps reduce cabin noise.
Can I put the ElectricDrive on a gas car?
Yes, if the tire size, load index and speed rating match what your vehicle maker specifies. But its strengths are designed for heavy, high-torque EVs.
What cars is the Goodyear ElectricDrive for?
Mid-range to luxury electric sedans and SUVs, as Goodyear states. Choose the size that matches your car's original tires.
Where is Goodyear from, and where is the ElectricDrive made?
Goodyear is an American brand, founded in 1898 in Akron, Ohio, USA. In Thailand, Goodyear (Thailand) has a car tire plant in Pathum Thani, but Goodyear does not state on its website which plant makes each ElectricDrive size.
What warranty does the ElectricDrive have?
Every tire bought from Subphaisal is covered by the manufacturer against manufacturing defects for 2 years or 50,000 km, for both store pickup and delivery, plus road hazard cover for cuts, bulges and punctures for 1 year when you buy 4 tires, install them at a branch and register per the brand's terms. See the warranty page for details.
Where can I get the ElectricDrive installed?
Order online and choose installation at any of Subphaisal's 5 branches in Thonburi and Nonthaburi, booking a date and time at checkout, or have the tires shipped anywhere in Thailand.
