Built to deliver comfort, traction and performance
The Cargo Marathon is a light truck and van tyre that delivers comfort, traction and performance.
Good handling and traction
Resistance to aquaplaning
Traction on wet and slippery roads
Quiet, comfortable ride
Good handling and traction. The Cargo Marathon’s 4-rib tread pattern spreads the load evenly, improving traction and handling.
Resistance to aquaplaning. Wide tread grooves shed water quickly when roads are wet, reducing the risk of aquaplaning.
Confident traction on wet and slippery roads. Stay in control on wet roads. The half-silica tread compound is optimised for good grip in wet weather. Blades within the tread help to maintain traction on slippery surfaces.
Quiet, comfortable ride. The Cargo Marathon’s tread is designed to reduce noise frequency peaks, so that you can enjoy the ride.
Feature:
4-rib/lug tread pattern compound
Wide circumferential grooves
Multifunctional blading
Optimum design pitching
Half silica tread compound
Action:
Spread loads evenly
Disperses water rapidly
Increases grip on slippery roads
Reduces noise frequency peak
Increases grip
Benefits:
Improved traction/handling
Aquaplaning resistance
Improved wet and winter traction
Low pattern noise
Improved wet traction/dry handling
To continue its long tradition of high-performance light truck tyres, and with the arrival of new light truck platforms, Goodyear has developed the new Cargo Marathon with innovative features focusing on the aspects of noise, comfort and improved traction. The tyre benefits from higher safety level standards and has been developed jointly with OE.
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.

19.11.2011fromYobbo Outragiously noisy, continual moaning noise on motorways or at any speed above 60kmh. My Goodyear winter tyres are virtually silent in comparison to the summer cargo Marathon. I couldn't put up wth the noise any more and changed them for another manufacturer and the noise has gone.
