Goodyear to close Fayetteville tire plant, 1,700 jobs to go by 2027

Goodyear will close its Fayetteville, NC tire plant by the end of 2027, eliminating about 1,700 jobs. The company says the move is necessary to strengthen competitiveness and the long-term health of the business, and is in discussions with the United Steelworkers. City officials say they will work on retraining and job-placement efforts with local community colleges and workforce programs to help workers transition as the plant’s closure approaches.

Bridgestone Slips to Bottom in 2026 JD Power Performance Tire Ratings

JD Power's 2026 tire survey places Bridgestone at the bottom of the performance-tire segment with 768 points (below the 796 segment average), while Michelin leads with 818, followed by Goodyear at 805 and Pirelli at 801. Dunlop is the weakest in passenger tires at 723. Tire Rack data shows Bridgestone model-level variations—Potenza S005 is weak in ultra-high-performance summer, RE980AS+ and Potenza Sport AS perform well in all-season categories, but RE92 underperforms in wet/snow—suggesting inconsistent Bridgestone performance across models that may drag down the overall brand score.

Goodyear director of racing, Greg Stucker, expressed confusion over the drastic increase in tire wear at Bristol Motor Speedway during the Food City 500 NASCAR race, despite using the same tire package as the previous year. The extreme cording and lack of rubber adherence to the track led to drivers conserving rubber and NASCAR allowing an extra set of tires. Goodyear is working to understand the unexpected change and adjust accordingly.

"Buc-ee's Set to Make Arizona Debut with Goodyear Location"

Texas-based gas station chain Buc-ee's has submitted plans to open a 75,000-square-foot retail store in Goodyear, Arizona, near Interstate 10 and Bullard Avenue. The city's planning and zoning commission has approved the plan, but the Goodyear City Council still needs to vote on the project. If approved, this would be Buc-ee's first location in Arizona, adding to its current 47 locations, with the majority in Texas and the rest in the Southeast United States.
