Goodyear

A special version of Goodyear's airless tire has been fitted to six-wheeled delivery robots at Ohio's Bowling Green State University campus in order to test factors such as tread wear, braking performance and vibration damping.

Each year Gripdetective publishes overall rankings for the best all-season tires in Europe based on testing from a variety of sources, and the 2020 analysis has just been released.

​If they really are to be considered "cars," flying cars will require at least two things: tires for driving on the road, and propellers for flying through the air. Goodyear has combined the two into one unit – or actually into four units – with its Aero concept.

Recently Goodyear has rolled into the Geneva Motor Show with new tire designs that could be described as intriguing concepts at best and crazy, outlandish ideas at worst. This year's rendition is no different, hiding living moss inside to cleanse the surrounding air as the car rolls down the road. ​

​At last year's Geneva Motor Show, Goodyear unveiled a spherical tire concept known as the Eagle 360. At this year's show, the company has pushed the concept a step further, with the artificial-intelligence-packin' Eagle 360 Urban.

Goodyear has taken the wraps off two concept tires designed for the autonomous cars of tomorrow – including a spherical tire that allow cars to drive sideways and one that can sense road conditions and adapt to them.​

Last July, we first heard about Goodyear’s plans to replace its current fleet of blimps with newer, more advanced models. The first of those airships, which was unnamed at the time, made its maiden flight this March. Now called Wingfoot One, it officially began active service last Friday.

On Friday, Goodyear unveiled its new state-of-the-art blimp at its Wingfoot Lake hangar in Suffield, Ohio. Built in partnership with the Zeppelin company, the new craft that replaces the 45-year old GZ-20 blimp fleet is not only larger and faster, it isn’t even a blimp, but a semi-rigid airship.

The iconic Goodyear blimps that are a common sight in the skies over stadiums at sporting events in the US are set to become iconic Goodyear zeppelins. The company says its new airships will be longer, faster and more maneuverable than the current fleet, while being less expensive to operate.

Goodyear's self-inflating Air Maintenance Technology (AMT) system for commercial vehicle tires is set to debut at a commercial vehicle trade show in Germany.
