Since its founding in 1898, Goodyear has been at the forefront of technological innovation and has collaborated with industry leaders to shape the future of mobility. One of these partners was NASA in 1969. The mission was the Space Race. Goodyear supported the first manned mission to the Moon by supplying the necessary products for the Apollo 11 spacecraft. Also, Goodyear-manufactured brakes helped the missiles stay in place on the launch pad, keeping the capsule upright when it returned to Earth, thanks to flotation bags manufactured by Goodyear. Continuing its space adventure in the following years, Goodyear now focuses on the future FACES of mobility (Fleets, Autonomous, Connected, Electric Vehicles and Sustainable), and continues to lead the future of mobility by developing and introducing cutting-edge tires to the market.

Goodyear’s Sports History: Icons Inside and Above the Stadium
The Goodyear brand has been associated with sports around the world for many years. Thanks to partnerships with the world’s leading teams and the iconic Goodyear Airship, the company has appeared at some of the biggest sporting and entertainment events worldwide. This relationship with elite sports has also contributed to Goodyear’s becoming one of the most well-known brands in the world. The first Goodyear Airships began flying in the 1910s, and Goodyear was a pioneer in the development of this new form of air transport. By the 1950s, the Goodyear Blimp was used for over-the-air television broadcasting, and in 1955 marked the broadcast industry as the first aerial camera platform with the Rose Parade and the Rose Bowl American college football game. Since then, the Goodyear Blimp has been a permanent fixture at sporting and cultural events around the world, from the Super Bowl to Royal Weddings.
In recent years, Goodyear has also established partnerships with the most successful teams of Germany, Italy and Argentina, Bayern Munich, Juventus and Boca Juniors, respectively. The partnership with English team Wolverhampton Wanderers also emerged as a result of the Goodyear factory located in the city and strengthened a relationship that extends far beyond the football field. Another local partnership in the field of sports is Goodyear’s work with the NBA basketball team Cleveland Cavaliers. Whether it’s Goodyear Blimp’s presence at some of the world’s biggest events, partnerships with legends on the football and basketball court, or advancing technology on the racetrack, Goodyear has been a brand associated with sports for much of its 125-year history.
Goodyear’s 10 Innovations That Changed the World
In 1901, Goodyear produced the first flat wall tire. The biggest innovation in this new tire design was the addition of a braided piano wire to the heel of the tire. The wire was fixed in the heel, which held the tire to the rim with an intricate series of locks. Since the tire did not curve while settling on the rim like its predecessor, it could hold 10 percent more compressed air, provide a more comfortable ride and increase traction. Goodyear also began to use the Wingfoot brand, which is still used today, in its advertisements, a symbol of the company’s commitment to innovation and quality.
