Goodyear to supply Airbus A321XLR tyres

Airbus has selected Goodyear Flight Radial tyres as the main and nose landing gear fitment for Airbus’ new A321XLR aircraft.

“Goodyear’s Flight Radial tyres will be an excellent fit for the new Airbus A321XLR and we look forward to serving as a supplier of this impressive aircraft,” said Dan Smytka, Goodyear’s president of off-highway businesses.

According to Airbus, the A321XLR will deliver an unprecedented extra-long range of up to 4,700 nm, which is 15 per cent more than its A321LR version, but without compromising fuel efficiency.
