5 CUTTING EDGE PRODUCTS Cutting Edge Products for The Most Demanding Market in The World There are more than 600 internationally experienced engineers in research and development that achieve peak performance and develop top quality products that are specially Made for America. Support is received from test engineers worldwide, including the North American R&D Center, based in Chester County, South Carolina, to ensure the optimization of the tires for demanding North American requirements. 3

6 R&D CAPABILITIES Our Purpose: To Make World Class Quality Tires R&D Center AT A GLANCE Locations: China Indonesia American R&D Center in South Carolina European Technical Center in UK European R&D Center in Hannover Employees: Close to 600 Apart from conducting our own research and development, we also collaborate with leading universities and research institutes around the world. 4

7 TECHNOLOGIES Equal Force Carcass Cap & Base Tread design EFC is GT RADIAL Tire s specially designed carcass technology enabling an optimal tire footprint and equal force distribution resulting in both better control and regular tread wear. Cap layer provides wear resistant qualities and the base rubber between the top layer and the casing includes a special cooler running formulation insulating casing from heat build up. Improved regular wear means higher removal mileage Better control and less noise Cap (top) layer has wear and irregular wear-resistant qualities Base is coolrunning,insulates casing from heat Advanced design delivers higher mileage performance, increased retreadability and improved reliability is the combination of two bead fillers: Hard and Soft Sidewall Protection Ribs Soft Bead filler helps provide a more comfortable ride and smoother handling Improved casing life expectancy through increased resistance to road hazards Hard Bead Filler is stiff for better durability 5
