Thompson Tire & Retread is proud of our partnership with Goodyear because this strategic alignment gives Thompson access to some of the best tire technology on the road. Goodyear’s best premium regional drive tire, the Fuel Max® RTD™, balances traction, fuel efficiency, and miles to removal. This drive tire is here to help manage every challenging surface and every turn with confidence – while helping extend tread life and lower fuel costs. 

When you purchase Goodyear Fuel Max® RTD™, you’re getting the total package:

• SmartWay certified. The U.S. EPA has determined that a variety of technologies, like Goodyear SmartWay tires, save fuel and reduce emissions when compared to regular tires. SmartWay is a program through the EPA that was created to help companies identify more efficient ways to reduce transportation-related emissions by accelerating the use of advanced fuel-saving technologies.

• Innovative tread compound, which helps deliver wear resistance and fuel efficiency. Fuel is one of the most expensive part of owning a truck. We understand the pressures of being a small business so we know that any time there is an opportunity to save money on fuel costs, it’s worth it!
• Open shoulder tread design provides traction while still delivering long miles to removal. The EPA states that between 1990 and 2013, freight activity grew by over 50 percent, and is projected to nearly double again by 2040 (full article). When hauling ALL that freight, businesses need tires they can count on, tires that will last, tires like the Goodyear Fuel Max® RTD™.
• Premium enhanced casing helps provide toughness and durability for maximum retreadability. These tires will be prime candidates for our Thompson Tire & Retread plant. By retreading your tires, your business can experience even more cost savings.
• Advanced tire design helps to endure curbing and scrubbing.
• Meets 3PMSF requirements, indicating exceptional traction and performance capabilities – even in the treacherous winter snow and weather. We’re all too familiar with these snowy conditions right here in Iowa, but this is especially applicable for those trucks making trips across the country and into the mountains.
