GM engineers needed to choose a tire with ultra low rolling resistance to help the Chevy Volt eek out the maximum distance from every plug-in charge.
The 2011 Chevrolet Volt has captured the public's attention since its introduction as a concept in January of 2007. Nearly every step of the plug-in e-car's transformation from autoshow darling to production vehicles has been chronicled with the rabid enthusiasm usually associated with Paris Hilton sightings. Adding a bit of fuel to this fire, Goodyear recently announced that its Assurance Fuel Max tire will be the rolling stock for the Chevy Volt when the car hits showrooms in November of 2010. Furthermore, the Fuel Max tire is now available to help improve mileage for many already in-production vehicles.
