Goodyear Signs
Agreement with Tredit for Trailer Tires
AKRON, Ohio -- The Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Company and Tredit Tire & Wheel Company, Inc.
have signed a two- year contract for the supply
of Goodyear trailer tires to original equipment
trailer manufacturers. The agreement is a
two-year extension of the supply contract
originally signed in 2005 by the two companies.
Goodyear will supply its Marathon ST tires,
which range in size from 13" to 16" rim
diameters. Goodyear Marathon tires are used on
light- and medium-duty trailers, which include
RV, cargo, horse and boat trailers.
Most
trailer tires are delivered to original
equipment trailer manufacturers as part of a
tire-and-wheel assembly, relieving the trailer
manufacturers of the burden of ordering tires,
rims and valves, maintaining inventories,
mounting and inflating. Tredit performs these
functions and delivers completed assemblies on a
just-in-time basis. Goodyear sells replacement
tires for trailers through its nationwide
retailer network.
Goodyear is one of the
world's largest tire companies. The company
employs about 70,000 people and manufactures its
products in more than 60 facilities in 26
countries around the world. For more information

Tredit supplies tires and wheels for
recreational vehicles, cargo, utility, boat,
horse and livestock trailers. Tredit has eight
locations nationwide, and is headquartered in
Elkhart, IN.
