To beat the record and cross seven Eurasian countries, Rainer Zietlow and his team have relied on the family of Goodyear Wrangler tires. The harshness of the weather conditions and terrain, including 3,000 kilometers of gravel and mud on the Kolyma highway (Russia), have tested the equipment during the 15,200 km trip. For the Magadan to Yakutsk route, Rainer trusted the Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure tires with Kevlar, while during the rest of the trip to Lisbon the Touareg was equipped with Goodyear Wrangler HP All Weather. Alberto Villarreal, Director of Marketing for Goodyear Iberia: “We warmly congratulate Rainer and his team for his new world record. We are proud once again to have been trusted! A big thank you to Rainer for having shown that Wrangler Goodyear tires were the right choice for this test. “ “We are delighted to have conquered Eurasia with the incredible performance of 6 days, 9 hours and 38 minutes,” said Rainer Zietlow. “I would like once more to express my gratitude to all sponsors and partners, including Goodyear, for providing a tire reliable even in the toughest conditions. I will clearly choose Goodyear for my next challenge as well. “
