Goodyear supplies Ford Motor Company with racing tires – and the rest is history. On October 1, 1901, Goodyear supplied Ford with its first set of tires — sparking a partnership built on performance, trust, and innovation. From legendary races to everyday drives, Goodyear and Ford have been moving the world forward together ever since. And we’re just getting started.

Pardon our dust. At the Goodyear Proving Grounds, our off-road tires are pushed to the extreme — trucks tearing through dirt, donuts in the dust, and every maneuver designed to prove traction where it matters most. Behind the wheel, our test drivers push past limits so that every product with the Goodyear name is proven where conditions are toughest — long before it ever reaches the road. Confidence isn’t claimed. It’s shown — in the dust, the dirt, and the toughest terrain.

At Goodyear’s San Angelo Proving Grounds, our test drivers push tires to the edge on wet, dry, and everything in between. From the outside, it sounds like squealing tires. From the inside, it’s the sound of innovation in motion. Every lap, every spin, every maneuver proves that performance isn’t just engineered in the lab — it’s earned on the track. Because before a tire earns the Goodyear name, it has to earn their trust.

When our test drivers put tires through their paces, they don’t just drive — they push limits. Wet. Dry. Everything in between. That’s how our tires earn their reputation: Precision grip, controlled performance, and confidence when it matters most. From donuts on a wet track to sharp maneuvers in the dry, these tests prove what words alone can’t. Because for us, it’s never just about making a tire. It’s about making a promise. Still. Always. Forever.

From the streets to the sky, Goodyear showed up big at Woodward. 125+ years strong. Still. Always. Forever.
Team Goodyear was proud to show up in a big way at one of my favorite events celebrating American automotive culture: the 2025 Woodward Dream Cruise in Greater Detroit. From classic cruisers to modern muscle cars, every vehicle on Woodward tells a story—and for more than 125 years, Goodyear has connected so many of them to the road. An iconic setting like this—on the streets, in the sky and in the community that makes it all possible—is exactly where we should be.

Three icons. One sky. Zero precedent. To celebrate 100 years of the Goodyear Blimp, we’re doing something that’s never been done before: We’re racing them. On Friday, August 1 at 9:30 a.m. EST, tune in to ESPN2’s The Ocho to witness the Goodyear Blimp Sky Race of the Century — a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle where Wingfoot One, Two and Three go head-to-head over Akron, Ohio. Part sport, part celebration, and all Goodyear.

From the Moon landing to the next giant leap. On this historic anniversary of the first lunar landing, we’re proud to share how Goodyear is once again pushing the boundaries of space exploration. As a member of the Lunar Dawn team, we’re developing next-generation metal mesh lunar tires for NASA’s Artemis program—designed to endure extreme cold and carry payloads at speed across the rugged lunar surface. Built on our legacy. Engineered for the future. See them in action during Earth-based testing ⬇️
