Rubber Company in 1898, by naming in the honor of Charles Goodyear,
the inventor of vulcanized rubber. It was started with 13 workers
to manufacture bicycle and carriage tires and rubber pads for
horseshoes. Now Goodyear tires is one of the largest tire and

Goodyear
Tires also had a subsidiary called Goodyear Aircraft company,
whose ‘blimps’ were popular throughout the world. In 1917 Goodyear

World War I. This company was renamed Goodyear Aerospace Corporation
after World War II and was subsequently sold to Loral Corp in
1987.

tires were mounted on Henry Ford’s cars to start automobile
racing in 1901. After further research Goodyear tires were developed
for aircraft use in 1909. The Goodyear tires were used for racing
and by 1919 Goodyear tires were on the winning car at Indianapolis
500. Due to economic depression Goodyear tires for racing were
stopped and re-started the same again in 1958.

1901, Goodyear developed first straight-side Goodyear tire,
with braided wire bead as wingfoot trademark. Initially the
tires were pasted to rims and Goodyear tires company developed
the first detachable rim to replace one-piece clincher rim in
1904 and then went on to produce the world's first quick, detachable,
straight-side tire in 1906, and first pneumatic rubber airplane
tire in 1909. Break through was achieved by introducing Radial-ply
Goodyear car tire in a full range of sizes to all auto manufacturers
in 1965. Vector, the third generation all-season radial Goodyear
tires were introduced in 1984.

Goodyear tire was rolled out in 1950 and the company reached
the landmark 1 billion dollar sales in 1951.
