Dalam gerakan strategik yang penting di bawah pelan tindakan transformasi “Goodyear Forward”, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company telah mendedahkan rancangan untuk menutup sepenuhnya kilang Shah Alamnya di Malaysia menjelang akhir 2024. Tindakan tegas ini, yang menjejaskan 550 kedudukan, menandakan satu perubahan penting dalam jejak syarikat di Malaysia dan mencetuskan pertanyaan mengenai trajektori masa depan 180 cawangan Goodyear AutoCare di seluruh negara.
Ditubuhkan pada tahun 1972, kilang Shah Alam telah berdiri sebagai asas kepada operasi Goodyear di Malaysia, melambangkan dedikasi yang telah lama wujud kepada ekonomi tempatan dan sektor automotif. Walau bagaimanapun, penutupannya yang akan datang mencerminkan strategi menyeluruh yang digariskan dalam agenda “Goodyear Forward”, yang menjurus ke arah mencapai penjimatan kos tahunan sebanyak $1.0 bilion menjelang 2025. Pelan hala tuju strategik ini merangkumi penyingkiran jenama Dunlop dan merasionalkan kehadiran global syarikat untuk meningkatkan pulangan pemegang saham dan mengukuhkan daya saing dalam sektor tersebut.
In conjunction with the upcoming Chinese New Year festive celebration, Goodyear Malaysia announced its latest promotion, designed to empower Malaysians to Drive Towards Prosperity with confidence as they gear up for the festive season. Until 29 February 2024, consumers who purchase 2 pieces of 16” and above consumer tyres will receive RM20 Touch ‘n Go e-Wallet credit, while those purchasing 4 pieces of 16” and above consumer tyres will receive RM50 Touch ‘n Go e-Wallet credit.
Goodyear remains steadfast in their commitment to enhancing the driving experience, ensuring safety and confidence for all drivers. This promotion reflects Goodyear’s commitment to providing superior products and experiences. To participate, customers can follow these simple steps:
When it comes to safe and enjoyable driving, the choice of tyres plays a pivotal role. Goodyear, a renowned name in the automotive industry with a history spanning 125 years, has consistently been at the forefront of tyre innovation.
With a commitment to providing products tailored to various driving needs, Goodyear introduces a range of premium tyre solutions designed to enhance the driving experience for a diverse range of vehicles and preferences in the Asia Pacific region.
Goodyear had just unveiled four new tyres: Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 for Luxury Sports, Wrangler DuraTrac RT for Premium 4×4 Off-Road, ElectricDrive, and Assurance MaxGuard for Mid Passenger. We got the opportunity to put these tyres to the test.
Goodyear recently hosted a regional event commemorating its impressive 125-year history in motion. During this event, the company unveiled four premium product lines specifically designed for the Asia Pacific region. These product lines represent Goodyear’s continued dedication to innovation and excellence in the tyre industry.
The event also served as a platform for Goodyear to showcase its remarkable journey of technological exploration over the past century and a quarter. Goodyear has consistently pushed the boundaries of tyre technology, and its enduring legacy is a testament to its commitment to driving advancements in the industry.
Goodyear Malaysia has introduced its newest exciting promotion delivering up to RM200 Touch ‘n Go eWallet credit with the purchase of four units of Assurance ComfortTred tyres. In addition to thanking consumers for prioritising a safe driving experience without sacrificing performance, this promotion is a part of the company’s efforts to offer Malaysians top-quality, cosy, and quiet tyres.
Goodyear Malaysia recently donated RM30,000 worth of tyres to St. John Ambulance Malaysia (SJAM) to help improve the safety of the ambulances and passengers. The tyre company has been a sponsor of the organisation since 2006 as part of its support for the local humanitarian efforts in helping Malaysians in need.
The ambulance services from St. John Ambulance Malaysia provide 24-hour response to emergency calls, including transporting COVID-19 patients. At the peak of the pandemic, St. John Ambulance Malaysia transported over 400 COVID-19 patients to the Klang Hospital.
Goodyear Malaysia actively organises humanitarian initiatives to help the communities in need. Over the years, besides the St. John Ambulance, it has also supported Pertubuhan Amal Uncle Kentang Malaysia (since 2021) with tyre sponsorship of approximately 1,000 tyres in total, which were fitted to more than 50 ambulances.
About the SJAM The SJAM has a history going back to 1885 when it was first established in the region in Singapore. Form humble beginnings with 6 out of 56 pupils passing an examination in ‘First Aid to the Injured’, the organisation has grown to over 60,000 volunteers in Malaysia.
These volunteers are found at various sporting events, festivals, parades and other functions, big or small. They also assist in disasters like floods, fires, landslides, plane crashes, etc. In total, they serve up to 3.6 million man-hours annually, providing various services.
SJAM has local 24-hour emergency as well as non-emergency ambulance services. Annually during the Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Chinese New Year periods, SJAM volunteers are also on standby along the North-South Highway and the Federal trunk roads. SJAM also provides community services such as haemodialysis centres, and Nursing Home.

Goodyear Malaysia’s Worry-Free Assurance (WFA) programme has been in the market almost ten years, having been introduced in 2013. It was initially offered with just one (the Assurance TripleMax) but within a short time, other tyres in the brand’s range were also included.
The original WFA programme had a straightforward benefit: if there were damages by road hazards, there would be free tyre replacement or partial credit for purchase of new Goodyear tyres, depending on the tread depth.
Goodyear Malaysia has now made improvements to the programme with extra benefits for motorists. “Since the Malaysian government announced the endemic phase in May, the number of cars on the road has seen an increase of two-fold compared to 2019. As such, we want to encourage our customers to be aware of their vehicle tyre’s health so they can drive with peace of mind. As an advocate of on-the-road safety, we believe the new Worry-Free Assurance programme will help our customers stay safe and have an enjoyable drive for the long run,” said Alex Ng, Managing Director of Goodyear Malaysia.
Modern tyres are tough but can still be damaged by some road hazards. If that happens with Goodyear tyres, you could get a free replacement.
Added benefits for customers The new WFA programme is available at no extra cost for all customers who purchase any new Goodyear consumer tyres and now there is no minimum purchase as a condition. However, as before, motorists who have Goodyear tyres that come fitted as standard on their new vehicle will not have WFA coverage.
Customers who register for WFA will enjoy the security of a 1-year Road Hazard Warranty from the date of purchase. They will be eligible for a free 1-to-1 exchange if tyres are damaged beyond repair caused by road hazards such as potholes and/or sharp objects during normal driving. The tyres should have a tread depth of 5.0 mm and above to qualify for the exchange. This new feature is an extension of the previous WFA with 6-month coverage with a minimum tread depth of 6.0 mm.
Free tyre safety check The new WFA programme ensures that the tyres are in optimal condition by providing 2 free tyre safety checks. Customers may return to the original Goodyear Autocare centre where they purchased their tyres from for these safety checks on the sixth and twelfth months after the date of purchase.
Warranty up to 5 years Goodyear Malaysia has updated their terms and condition where the 5-year limited warranty will cover 5 years from the date of purchase stated in the original invoice, instead of from the manufacturing date on the tyres. This is fairer to the customer since the tyres might not be sold immediately after they leave the factory.
However, in the event that the original invoice is not available, the limited warranty will cover the tyres from the date of manufacturing instead. Under this warranty, Goodyear also covers manufacturing defects in workmanship or materials used.

Easy registration online The process of registering for WFA is easy as it can be done online with submission of scans of the receipt and WFA card number. Each tyre purchase should come with a WFA card but if it is not available should a claim be made (or for the safety check), customers can print out the WFA online registration instead.
With the continuing popularity of SUVs, a segment which has been growing since the 1990s, Goodyear Malaysia has added a new tyre to cater for SUVs in the middle range. Earlier, in 2017, the company had introduced the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance SUV which was for the more expensive models from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Now, with the new Assurance MaxGuard SUV, they cover models in a lower segment as prices start from RM375.
The Assurance line of tyres is developed more for modern SUVs, differentiating it from the older Wrangler line which could be considered more ‘hardcore’. The Wrangler has also been available but its construction philosophy has been oriented more towards pick-up trucks and the workhorse 4×4 SUVs.
The Assurance range, on the other hand, is comfort-oriented since SUVs today are used on the road more than off-road. They are also used more for personal transport than for hauling heavy cargo to sites in the jungle. So the requirements of customers will be different and Goodyear understand this.
Of course, the nature of a SUV still makes it possible for the vehicle to go off-road, although perhaps not on serious expeditions deep into the jungle. But many people who own such vehicles may also use them to go to the seaside or on trails to fishing ponds or for other types of recreation. Therefore, there is still a need for the tyre to be robust to cope with rocks and rough terrain. This is where the Assurance MaxGuard SUV tyre’s ‘2-in-1 protection’ comes in to provide a balance of grip and braking for road use, and durability when driving on rough roads.
With Goodyear’s ActiveGrip Technology, the tyre is claimed to be able to brake in shorter distances on wet roads and also provide good handling and stability. This is achieved by its tread design with an increased number of multi-biting edges and optimized distribution. Goodyear’s claims were made based on factory tests using a Honda CR-V and comparing to the Wrangler Triplemax.
The tyre also uses blended silica in its cap compound for reduced rolling resistance, which helps fuel economy. Further helping to extend mileage is the enhanced tyre footprint (squarish instead of circular), optimized tread depth distribution and cavity shape. These help the tyre to last longer, maximising the value for money spent by the motorist.
DuraGuard Technology, used in many other Goodyear tyres, makes the tyre carcass robust and that is important for withstanding cuts and punctures. The durability comes from having 2-ply construction and a strong steel belt layer that is resistant to penetration.
Because the SUVs are used more on roads and daily commuting, noise levels need to be lower. The earlier Wrangler tyres tended to be noisy because those who drove trucks were not bothered. But today’s SUVs are quieter, like passenger cars, so the tyres need to also run with less noise. Goodyear’s engineers have made sure that Assurance MaxGuard SUV meets this expectation with a carefully designed tread pattern with an angled block design that traps noise, noise reduction ribs and narrower grooves.
Sizes available for the Malaysian market. Prices are dependent on the size and start from RM375.
The new Assurance MaxGuard SUV is made in Goodyear factories in China, Malaysia and Thailand in a wide range of sizes for popular SUV models in Malaysia, including those from Malaysian brands such as Perodua and Proton. They are available for 16, 17, 18 and 19-inch rim sizes so quite a large portion of the SUV market is covered.
As with most Goodyear tyres sold in Malaysia, the Assurance MaxGuard SUV comes with the brand’s Worry-Free Assurance program where a customers can get free replacement tyres in the event of road hazard damage (potholes or punctures from nails) that is beyond repair (within the first 6 months of use, terms and conditions apply). Additionally, there is also a 5-year factory warranty that covers manufacturing defects.
