Founded in 1898 by Frank Seiberling in the United States of America, the slogan is "Made to feel good," which means these tyres are designed for your pleasure - to live and drive with peace of mind.
From a small factory to an empire, that's how Goodyear's rich history could be summed up. Frank Seiberling named his company as a tribute to the father of vulcanization, Charles Goodyear. And it was a good omen, as throughout its history, the brand will demonstrate this innovative and pioneering spirit. In 1926, Goodyear became the world's largest rubber company. In 1965, a land speed record of 1000 km/h was set with a vehicle equipped with Goodyear tyres. In 1970, the brand even stepped on the lunar surface with the crew of Apollo 14. Summarizing such a rich history in a few lines is a challenge, but these significant facts reinforce the reputation and trust naturally given to Goodyear.
Goodyear is one of the top five global leaders in the field of car, 4x4, utility, heavy-duty, and bus tyres, as well as in the industrial and civil engineering sectors.
The Goodyear logo is also well-known and recognizable. It adorns the imposing airships that have marked the history of air transport with their blue and yellow colors.
Among our technicians' favorite Goodyear tyres, we recommend the Goodyear EfficientGrip PERFORMANCE plus tire for summer, and the Goodyear Ultragrip 9 Plus winter tire for the winter season. Our technicians have carefully selected them to ensure optimal performance.

Goodyear is not only a major player in the production of tyres for traditional vehicles but the brand is also at the forefront of tire technology for electric cars. Aware of the specific requirements of these vehicles, Goodyear has developed a range of tyres optimized for increased durability and efficiency. Their specific design minimizes rolling resistance, resulting in improved range for electric vehicles.

Designed to meet the unique requirements of these vehicles, the Electric Drive GT offers exceptionally low rolling resistance to maximize battery range. It also features an advanced tread pattern to enhance grip and stability, which is crucial for handling the high torque of electric vehicles. Additionally, Goodyear's noise reduction technology is incorporated to compensate for the absence of engine noise in electric cars, ensuring a quiet and comfortable journey.
