Goodyear Tire & Rubber third quarter 2021 sales were US$4.9bn, up 42% year on year.\n<\/p>\n

The increase was driven by the Cooper Tire merger, improvements in price\/mix, increased sales from other tyre-related businesses and higher volume.\n<\/p>\n

Tyre unit volume was 48.2m, up 32%. Replacement tyre unit volume increased 44%, reflecting the addition of Cooper Tire unit volume, continuing industry recovery and market share gains.<\/p>\n

But original equipment unit volume decreased 7%, reflecting lower vehicle production, which continued to be affected by shortages of components and materials.<\/p>\n
