Goodyear Newton MTF Downhill

No, the Newton MTF is specifically engineered as a front-wheel tire. Its tread pattern is optimized for steering precision and cornering grip, which differs from the requirements of a rear-drive tire.

The progressive tread design is quite effective at clearing debris, which helps maintain traction in wet, loose, or muddy conditions. While it is a versatile performer, it excels most in technical, rowdy terrain where clearing mud quickly is essential for grip.

This is a folding tire. This construction helps keep the overall weight down compared to traditional wire bead downhill tires while still providing the robust sidewall support needed for aggressive gravity riding.

This tire is designed for a 27.5-inch diameter rim and has a width of 2.5 inches. You should verify that your rim width is compatible with a 2.5-inch tire and that your frame or fork has sufficient clearance for this volume.

Yes, the Newton MTF features a downhill-specific construction. It is built to withstand the impacts and sharp obstacles found in rock gardens and technical descents, providing the sidewall stability required for high-speed gravity riding.
