Goodyear has been manufacturing tyres for the last 115 years and is globally one of the most recognised tyre brands. In November 1898, Goodyear began its production with a line of bicycle and carriage tyres. Just 18 years later, the company was fast becoming the world’s leading Tyre Company.
Goodyear has always been devoted to advancing tyre technology and looking to lead the way in driving excellence. At the forefront of advancements in new tyre technologies, with a drive to focus on environmental issues, Goodyear has developed technologies such as 3D-BIS technology which increases the rubber to road contact, as well as others such as Active Braking technology and Fuel Saving Technology. The Goodyear brand offers a variety of tyres for all kinds of vehicles and driving needs and can also boast that they are original equipment for manufacturers such as BMW, Audi and Mercedes.
