The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, commonly known as Goodyear, is an American multinational tire manufacturer headquartered in Akron, Ohio. Frank Seiberling founded it in 1898 and named it after Charles Goodyear, the inventor of vulcanized rubber. It makes tires for automobiles, motorcycles, trucks, recreational vehicles, heavy off-road machinery, aviation and the military, and it supplies tires to auto racing. Its place in vehicle history also rests on lighter-than-air craft: Goodyear had built airships and balloons since the early 1900s, flew its first advertising blimp in 1925, and in 1924 formed the Goodyear-Zeppelin Corporation with Luftschiffbau Zeppelin, the company that later became its Goodyear Aerospace subsidiary. Since 2021 it has been the world third-largest tire maker by annual revenue.
