Goodyear, one of America's best-known tire manufacturers, is also among the largest in the world. With Innovation Centers located in Akron, Ohio, and Colmar-Berg, Luxembourg, Goodyear is dedicated to developing cutting-edge products that elevate technology and performance standards.
The knowledge gained from racing inspires the design of Goodyear tires, enabling them to withstand the demanding conditions of motorsports. Goodyear is the exclusive tire supplier for the top three series in NASCAR and participates in NHRA drag racing and SCCA road racing events.
Additionally, Goodyear is recognized for its famous blimps, which have become iconic symbols of advertising in the United States. The Goodyear blimp frequently appears at major events and races nationwide.
Founded in 1898 and headquartered in Akron, Ohio, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company was named after Charles Goodyear, the inventor of vulcanized rubber. This innovation made rubber a more durable and elastic material.
In addition to tires for cars, crossovers, sport utility vehicles, and light trucks, Goodyear also manufactures tires for buses, tractor-trailers, and heavy-duty earth-moving equipment.
Tire Rack is proud to carry an extensive range of Goodyear products, including the Assurance WeatherReady2 and Wrangler DuraTrac RT.
