The launch of the New Peugeot 2008 confirmed the success of the first GT Radial tire supply agreement with Stellantis in Latin America. Produced at the Group's facility in Palomar, Argentina, this new compact SUV—which promises to elevate the category's standards—comes factory-equipped with GT Radial FE2 tires, size 215/60R17 96H.
"For almost two decades, we have been tire suppliers for automakers established in Latin America. We have experience in developing tires aimed at meeting the needs of the market and demanding consumers. This has driven us to successfully achieve this supply," explains Carlos Spreafico, Original Equipment Account Manager for Latin America.
During the development phase for product approval, the GT Radial FE2 was tested on streets and highways in the region. With a modern asymmetric design, it offers excellent performance, low noise levels, and precise handling, along with extremely short braking distances thanks to the innovative compound used in the tread. Extremely safe and comfortable, the GT Radial FE2 has low rolling resistance, which provides lower pollutant emissions and fuel savings.
