Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. is celebrating 45 years of its Eagle line.
According to Goodyear officials, “The first official Eagle road tire was launched for the United States market in 1981 and was followed by the Eagle VR50, developed soon after to meet the stricter European speed requirements.”
“The latest Eagle line has improved to meet the trends of the automotive industry over the past decade and a half, developing through generations to reach today’s Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, which gives drivers the performance they’ve come to expect from an Eagle tire while meeting modern noise and emissions standards and catering for the demands of electrified vehicles, too."
Retired Goodyear executive Bob Toth was instrumental in the emergence and development of the Eagle line.
