Goodyear Rib Features
- Unique cord body shape
Helps reduce stress as the tire cycles from tension to compression - Tough casing design
Performs in a wide range of operating conditions - Specially compounded tread design and large contact area. Versatility for many runway types
- Strong casing & retreadability
The inner structure (carcass, plies) is made to last through multiple high-stress events and retreads.

Benefits to the Operator
- High speed / high load capability: The bias-ply construction, specialized cord body shape and large contact area give the tire the structural strength and stability to handle higher speeds and heavier loads.
- Durability & stress reduction: The reduced stress as the tire cycles from tension/compression means better longevity, fewer failures from structural fatigue.
- Wear resistance / large contact patch: The specially-compounded tread and large contact area mean improved wear characteristics and a larger footprint for performance (traction, load distribution).
- Versatility in operating conditions: Designed to handle more varied environmental and mission profiles (runway surfaces, temperatures, loads) without compromising.
- Serviceability and damage resistance: For specific sizes, Goodyear notes “enhanced air retention … resistance to wheel damage … wear-resistant tread compounds.” This implies less downtime, easier maintenance, and better reliability.
- Cost-effectiveness per landing: The combination of higher durability, fewer replacements, and robust performance translates to lower cost per landing for users.
In summary: The Rib line from Goodyear is positioned as a bias-ply aircraft tire line (for commercial/general aviation use) that provides high speed and high load capability, built with a specialized cord body shape to reduce stress, enhanced tread design to maximize contact area and wear resistance, and the robustness to perform reliably across varied conditions — all of which support better durability, reliability and value for operators.
