Excellence

Drivers of luxury performance sedans, coupes, muscle cars, performance-oriented CUVs, SUVs, and EVs need a perfect set of tires to deliver much-needed performance. Fortunately, the Goodyear Excellence tires are one of the popular ultra-high-performance tires on the market and are also the Original Equipment tires on select European vehicles. They are built using an OE-tuned asymmetric tread pattern that ensures responsive handling and smooth rides. The Excellent UHP tire is suitable for dry and wet roads in warmer weather conditions when the temperature is typically above 45 degrees. The Excellence sports wide circumferential grooves that force water out of the footprint for increased traction and grip on wet roads, while the wider footprint and center ribs boost stability and steering response. Additionally, the extended shoulder blocks provide extra controllability for improved high-speed performance, making the Excellence a suitable tire for vehicles like the BMW 7 Series, Dodge Challenger, Acura RDX, Ford Edge, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Lexus RZ, Maserati Grecale, Porsche Cayenne, Rolls Royce Ghost, Tesla Model X, Volkswagen ID.6 X, and Volvo XC90.
