Goodyear may be an American icon, but its tyres are made across 21 countries — each contributing to the brand’s legacy of quality and performance. In this guide, we uncover where Goodyear tyres are produced, how their global network maintains exceptional standards, and why the brand continues to lead the road for safety and innovation.
The only American tyre manufacturer to be considered one of the top five tyre brands in the world, alongside Continental, Bridgestone, Pirelli, and Michelin, Goodyear is one of the most recognisable names in the industry.
And for good reason.
Founded in 1898, Goodyear has made a name for itself both in terms of passenger vehicle tyres, and as the supplier and partner for NASCAR and F1. Despite ending its partnership with F1 back in 1998, it remains one of the most successful partners ever in terms of wins and records.
But while Goodyear may have its roots firmly placed in America, notably its headquarters in Ohio, where exactly are the tyres produced today?
The Global Expansion of Goodyear
Goodyear tyres are made in a total of 48 manufacturing facilities and factories, covering an expanse of 21 different countries.
The tyres are manufactured in a range of Western and Eastern countries, including China, Mexico, Taiwan, Thailand, France and England.
Interestingly, Goodyear was the first global tyre manufacturer to enter the China market and has acquired countless smaller brands and makes during the course of its history.
