rdfs:comment
  • The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company was founded in 1898 by Frank Seiberling in Akron, Ohio. The company was named after Charles Goodyear, the inventor of vulcanized rubber. Goodyear is the most successful tyre supplier in Formula One, with more starts, more wins (113 as the sole supplier), more Drivers' Championships and more Constructors' Championships than any other team.
  • One of the longest sponsors in Disneyland history, Goodyear sponsored the PeopleMover for its entire 28-year-long run, from July 2, 1967, to August 21, 1995. The PeopleMover's propulsion system was made up of a series of electric motors in the track every nine feet, each with a rotating Goodyear tire to propel the trains forward. Goodyear's involvement with the PeopleMover was also evident in the design of the attraction's logo, which was designed in the same typeface of the Goodyear logo.
  • The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company was founded in 1898 by Frank Seiberling. Goodyear manufactures tires (tyres) for automobiles, commercial trucks, light trucks, SUVs, race cars, airplanes, farm equipment and heavy earth-mover machinery. Even though he had no connection with the company, it was named after Charles Goodyear. Goodyear invented vulcanized rubber in 1839. The first Goodyear tires became popular because they were easily detachable and low maintenance. Goodyear is a former component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
