AKRON, Ohio, March 3, 2016 – Goodyear, for the fourth year in a row, has been recognised as the world’s most admired tyremaker by Fortune magazine.

Among companies in Fortune’s World’s Most Admired Companies’ Motor Vehicle Parts category, Goodyear was also the No. 1 ranked U.S.-based company and ranked No. 3 overall.

In the Motor Vehicle Parts category, Goodyear was ranked No. 3 in five of the nine key attributes measured, and No. 4 in three others.
