Celebrating 125 Years of Goodyear Tyres!

2023-08-10

 

This 29 August 2023, Goodyear will be marking an incredible milestone as the pioneering tyre company celebrates its 125th anniversary at the forefront of tyre innovations that defined the industry as well as leading-edge technology that drive so much more than tyres.   

From the race track to the lunar surface, Goodyear has pushed the boundaries of technology throughout its history – establishing an enduring legacy of excellence which has helped shape it into an illustrious tyre brand and one of the world’s most respected companies.

 

 

Paving The Way
The entrepreneurial spirit that shaped Goodyear’s beginnings paved the way for a wave of its early tyre inventiveness including the no-rim-cut tyre and all-weather tread – so much so that by 1920, Goodyear equipped almost half of all OEM tyres on American-made cars.    

 

 

Racing To Success
In a momentous turning point, Henry Ford’s request for racing tyres from Goodyear ignited its path to motorsports success as a racing icon – so much so that by 1962, Goodyear racing tyres were used on more winning stock and sports cars than any other brand at the time.

 

 

Going Beyond Tyres
Goodyear’s prolific breakthroughs not only produced the world’s first tyres on the moon but contributed to the ground-breaking development of synthetic rubber – which eventually led to the application of a polymer developed by Goodyear in artificial heart technology.
