AKRON, Ohio, Jan. 28, 2016 –The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has rounded out its Kelly brand power line with the new Kelly Edge HP.

Unveiled this week during Goodyear’s 2016 Dealer Conference, the Kelly Edge HP is for consumers who want excellent performance and value, according to Jay Robinson, general manager, brand marketing, Goodyear.

“This exciting new product rounds out our Kelly Edge power line, which includes the Kelly Edge A/S and Kelly Edge AT, introduced during last year’s Goodyear Dealer Conference,” he said. “With the addition of the Kelly Edge HP, the Kelly power line now covers 85% of target segments.”

The high-performance Kelly Edge HP contains a wide range of features, including:
