Goodyear is a global manufacturer of tires and related rubber products serving the replacement and original equipment markets. Its portfolio spans passenger cars, SUVs, trucks and buses, aviation, motorsport, off‑the‑road and industrial applications.
Core competencies include materials science, polymer formulation and tire engineering. Goodyear designs and compounds blends of natural and synthetic rubber with reinforcing fillers (such as silica and carbon black), resins, textiles and steel cord to meet performance, durability and safety requirements. The company operates manufacturing plants and R&D centers across the Americas, EMEA and Asia‑Pacific, and supports commercial fleets with retreading and tire management services. In addition to its flagship brand, it markets products under several regional brands.
R&D efforts focus on tread design, rolling resistance, wear, wet grip, noise and energy efficiency, alongside work on sustainable materials and end‑of‑life tire solutions. Given its scale and technical capabilities, Goodyear is a significant participant in the broader chemicals value chain as a major user of petrochemical feedstocks and advanced elastomer and reinforcement technologies.
