Goodyear Tyres

Named after the inventor of vulcanised rubber, Charles Goodyear, the company was founded in 1898 by Frank Sieberling in Ohio. For over a hundred years, Goodyear Tyres has been manufacturing tyres for cars, trucks, motorcycles, aviation, farm equipment and heavy machinery.

The brand is particularly famous for the Goodyear Blimp which first flew in 1925, but there’s more to the brand than a big flying balloon. The brand is also renowned for quality products and is a reliable name when it comes to tyres. Each product goes through the 360° Quality Tests approach, which means they have been rigorously tested not just by the company itself but also by a number of international testing organisations.

Through these tests, each customer can be assured that the product they use exhibit excellent wet and dry handling and braking, mileage and durability, cornering grip, durability, internal noise, aquaplane-resistance, traction, fuel economy, and high-speed stability, among many other features.

A true testament to the quality of their products is the record that Goodyear holds. To date, they are the most successful tyre supplier in the history of Formula One, having the most starts, wins, and constructors’ championships than any other brand.

Aside from making sure that every product that goes out to the public have passed each test with flying colours, Goodyear Tyres also keeps innovating and coming up with new ideas to provide better driving experiences to all. Some of their accomplishments include: the creation of the first detachable tyre in 1904, the first-ever pneumatic aviation tyre in 1909, the first tyre specifically made for wet conditions in 1993, and introduced the world’s first electricity generating concept tyre in 2015. Because of these great achievements over the years, Goodyear is recommended in over 80% of European tyre tests by Auto Express for the past decade.
