The first Goodyear factory was opened in Akron, Ohio, in 1898. The thirteen original employees manufactured bicycle and carriage tires, rubber horseshoe pads, and poker chips. The manufactures pneumatic casings, inner tubes, and solid and cushion tires for all types of vehicles. The company takes pride in their products, services and relationships because of their valued customers. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company started in 1898 when Frank Seiberling purchased the company's first plant using money he borrowed from his brother–in–law. The rubber and cotton had to be transported from halfway around the world, to a landlocked town that had only limited rail transportation. Seiberling named the company after the courageous pioneer Charles Goodyear, the discoverer of vulcanisation. He also determined the distinctive winged–foot trademark that remains a symbolic link with the company's past. Presently, most exciting new cars use wider, lower–profile tyres to enhance both their handling and looks. This type of tyre places a priority on aggressive traction and response. In the past, that meant limited capabilities in poor weather, significant compromises in ride comfort and tread life. Now, a wide range of Goodyear tyres, including the new Eagle ultra–high performance and Excellence radials, deliver outstanding performance, all–season capability, and uncompromised comfort and tyre life.
