What Goodyear does
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is a publicly traded global tire manufacturer (NYSE: GT) headquartered in Akron, Ohio, with regional subsidiary Goodyear Lastikleri T.A.Ş. in Turkey. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes passenger car, SUV/4x4, light truck/van, and commercial truck and bus tires in summer, winter, and all-season variants, including premium product lines such as the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, Eagle F1 SuperSport series, EfficientGrip Performance 2, Vector 4Seasons Gen-3, Winter Command, and UltraGrip Performance 3. Core proprietary technology centers on tire compound and tread engineering, with SoundComfort noise reduction technology positioned as a notable acoustic comfort feature.
Goodyear generates revenue through three principal streams: consumer replacement tire sales via an authorized dealer network and online dealer locator, commercial fleet tire sales through dedicated programs (MyWay and 4Fleet), and Original Equipment (OE) supply to automobile manufacturers for new vehicles. The company also operates wholly-owned sub-brands Fulda and Sava, which target value-oriented price tiers in European markets. Go-to-market is primarily channel-partner-led, supported by region-specific digital platforms across 37+ countries in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, alongside active social media and content marketing channels.
The company's customer base spans individual passenger car owners (primary), SUV and 4x4 drivers, light commercial vehicle operators, and large truck and bus fleet operators. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by tire size, model, and dealer location. Goodyear's distribution and brand portfolio, combined with its 125-plus-year manufacturing heritage and 2025 Auto Bild Top Manufacturer Summer recognition, underpin its market position in both consumer and OE channels.
