2000 ANNUAL REPORTAlignment — Misalignment of wheels on the front or rear of your vehicle can be caused by hitting a curb or pothole. It can result in unevenand rapid treadwear.Have your vehicle’s alignment checked periodically as specified inthe owner’s manual or whenever you have an indication of trouble suchas pulling or vibration.Also, have your tire balance checked periodically. An unbalanced tireand wheel assembly may result in irregular wear.THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANYPressure — It is important to have the proper air pressure in your tires,as underinflation is the leading cause of tire failure. It results in tirestress and irregular wear.The correct amount of air for your tires is specified by the vehiclemanufacturer and shown on the vehicle door edge, door post, glovebox door or fuel door. It is also listed in the owner’s manual.Check your tires’ air pressure at least once a month. This should bedone when your tires have not been driven a distance and are still cold.Rotation — Sometimes irregular tire wear can be corrected by rotatingyour tires. Consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual, the tire manufactureror your tire retailer for the appropriate rotation pattern for your vehicle.If your tires show uneven wear, ask your tire retailer to check for andcorrect any misalignment, imbalance or other mechanical probleminvolved before rotation.Tires should be rotated at least every 6,000 miles.Tread — Tires must be replaced when the tread is worn down to onesixteenth of an inch in order to prevent skidding and hydroplaning.When built-in treadwear indicators – which look like narrow strips ofsmooth rubber across the tread – appear, the tread is worn out andshould be replaced.PRESSURE ALIGNMENT ROTATION TREADMore Information — For more information about tire safety, visit theRubber Manufacturers Association’s Web site at www.rma.org/tiresafetyor Goodyear’s at www.goodyear.com/us/tire school.A K R O N ,O H I OW W W.

Goodyear 102nd Annual Report Akron, Ohio 44316-0001TRUSTEach day, millions of people around the world put their trust inGoodyear. For more than a century, we have worked to earn –and keep – this trust.Goodyear associates know the critical role tires play in vehiclesafety. That is why their families drive on our tires.We constantly seek ways to improve our products, to makeevolutionary changes in existing designs, as well as createrevolutionary new ones.Consumers can trust that the set of Goodyear tires they buytoday offers outstanding quality, durability and performance.The next set will be even better.Financial Highlights(Dollars in millions, except per share)Year Ended December 31,20001999Net SalesNet Income— Per diluted share 14,417.140.3.25 13,355.4243.21.53AssetsDebtEquityDebt to Debt and Equity 13,568.03,585.8*3,503.050.6%* 13,278.13,424.5*3,792.647.4%*Cash Dividends per ShareCommon Shares OutstandingShareholders of RecordAverage Number of Associates 1.20157,603,96228,778106,724 1.20156,335,12028,163100,649*Debt and Debt to Debt and Equity exclude the Sumitomo 1.2% Convertible Note Payable Due 8/01.

To our shareholdersFor Goodyear and our entire industry,2000 was a very difficult year.While we had record sales, ourearnings were disappointing. Unanticipated economic and marketplace turmoilimpacted us significantly. We tookaggressive action to temper the impactand better prepare us for the future.In the face of these difficult conditions, Goodyear associates around theworld made outstanding progress inmany areas that offer long-term strategic value for our company.A year that began with strong shipments and bright prospects for improvedprofitability became clouded by skyrocketing raw material and energy costs, aweakening euro and a slowing U.S.economy.Adding to the turbulence was theAugust recall of 6.5 million tires inNorth America by our competitorBridgestone/Firestone.Overnight, tires became front-pagenews. Journalists, attorneys, politicians,automakers and government officialsscrutinized the entire industry and itsproducts.On a positive note, after years ofgiving little thought to their tires, consumers began to realize tires are actuallyhighly complex products that combinehundreds of materials and compounds,are uniquely designed for a specific useand require proper care and maintenance.Millions Turn to GoodyearConsumers – now armed with a betterunderstanding of the important roletires play in their safety and that oftheir families, friends and vehicles –began to abandon bargain brand tiresand turned to name brands they knowand trust. Millions turned to Goodyear.GOODYEAR 2In the second half of 2000, NorthAmerican replacement market shipmentsof Goodyear-brand tires grew at a pacealmost five times that of the overallmarket. Gains were made in all consumertire categories, from Aquatreds andRegattas for minivans and sedans toWranglers for sport utility vehicles andEagles for sports cars. We intend to keepthese new customers.Clearly, Goodyear’s long-standingreputation for quality and safety stoodout from the furor and comforted concerned motorists. Everyone at Goodyeartakes very seriously the trust consumersput in our products and services. Wealways have, and always will.Samir G. Gibara (right), chairman& chief executive officer; andRobert J. Keegan, president& chief operating officer.Be Tire SmartAs a member of the U.S. RubberManufacturers Association, Goodyear supports and applauds the RMA’s “Be TireSmart, Play Your PART” consumer education program.We’ve chosen to promote this on ourWeb site, and on the back cover of thisannual report. Please read it, follow theadvice and spend five minutes inspectingyour tires, as well as those of familymembers.
Economic ChallengesThe financial benefit of our growth inNorth America’s replacement tire marketwas not enough to offset the industrywide challenges we faced during 2000.Prices for oil hit record highs. Thisis significant to our results since 65 percent of the raw materials used in a tireare derived from oil.Because of very competitive marketplace conditions, we were not able toimmediately increase our selling pricesto offset this higher cost. We tried during the spring. Our sales fell off, andprofits quickly evaporated.As the year 2000 ended, however,we successfully implemented priceincreases of up to 7 percent in all ofour regional replacement tire businesses. Many of our original equipment customers agreed to pay more as well.These increases should offset our higher costs and lead to solid bottom lineprofits in 2001.Currency movement – in particularthe euro versus the U.S. dollar andBritish pound – hurt results for Goodyearas it did other U.S.-based companieswith a significant European presence.Pride in Our AccomplishmentsOur disappointment in 2000’s financialresults cannot conceal our pride in theaccomplishments achieved by Goodyearassociates this past year. They weremany. They were significant. And theywill benefit this company for years tocome.These efforts were recognized bymany outside of our company. Customers,government agencies, professional organizations and journalists were amongthose praising Goodyear’s products andits actions.During the year, we accelerated theintegration of our Dunlop tire businessesand captured more synergies than wehad expected. This acquisition has beenboth a key to our growth strategy and asolid contributor to our financial results.The addition of the Dunlop brand givesus significantly greater strength in themarketplace.The restructuring of our globaloperations continues. Ongoing investments in productivity allowed us to further rationalize manufacturing and closesome less-efficient factories. Changes inour administrative practices enabled usto reduce our office staff. In total, during 2000 and 2001, we will reduce ourworldwide work force by almost 10,000.We formed a joint venture withTreadco to combine our U.S. truck tireservice and retreading outlets into anetwork of almost 200 service centersand 77 retreading plants. Goodyear ownsapproximately 80 percent of the newbusiness called Wingfoot Commercial TireSystems, and is now the largest providerof truck tire services in the world.We opened a sales and distributioncenter in Dubai, the chief port andcommercial center of the United ArabEmirates. This will allow us to accessmuch more efficiently more than 40markets in the Middle East, Africa andCentral Asia. We intend to double ourmarket share in the region.With an eye on tomorrow, we madesignificant strides in our e-commerceefforts. Most notable is the start-up ofRubberNetwork.com, a global electronicpurchasing and procurement marketplaceestablished by Goodyear and five othertiremakers. We believe it will fundamentally change the industry’s purchasingpractices and reduce costs throughoutthe supply chain.Later this year, we plan to unveilseveral e-commerce initiatives focusedon dealers, distributors and truckingfleets, as well as individual consumers.Product AdvancementsIn North America, the GoodyearAquatred 3 took its place atop ourconsumer tire lineup. It was joined bythe off-road Wrangler MT/R, the entrylevel Club tire and several additions toour Eagle performance tire line.Our commercial tire groups unveiledproducts for tractor-trailers, roadgraders, heavy service vehicles, farmtractors, recreational vehicles, articulated dump trucks and mining trucks.Dunlop Tires added several new sizesto its popular Radial Rover light truckand SP 40 A/S passenger car tire lines.Kelly-Springfield introduced theKelly Safari SUV tire and the NavigatorPlatinum TE, a touring tire that featuresan 80,000 mile limited treadwear warranty and free road hazard protection.Our European businesses launchedcar, truck and farm tires for ourGoodyear, Dunlop and Sava brands.These include the highly successfulGoodyear Eagle Ventura, judged the bestcar tire in the UK; Eagle NCT5; and theDunlop SP Sport 3000A.GOODYEAR 3
Additionally, we stepped up marketing efforts for the Kelly brand in Europeto better take advantage of its ruggedAmerican image in the value-pricedsegment of that market.In Asia and Latin America, theadvanced-technology Goodyear EagleVentura, Eagle F1 and Eagle NCT5 passenger car tires made successful debuts.Innovative products from ourEngineered Products business included achemical transfer hose that can operateat temperatures up to 250 degrees andthe Goodyear TensionRite gauge, whichhelps customers eliminate the leadingcause of power transmission belt failure,improper tension.Technology AdvancementsIn 2000, our strengthened global products planning group worked to mergethe needs of our global customers andour regional business units to make usmore effective, efficient and profitable.In June, we reached an agreementwith our competitor Michelin to jointlydevelop run-flat tire systems that combine the best of its Pax system and ourEMT breakthroughs. Our 50-50 joint venture includes agreements on researchand development, licensing of eachcompany’s patents and the creation of aglobal aftermarket service network.We are extremely proud of our EMTrun-flat technology and the benefits itis bringing automakers and motorists.We are even more excited, however,about the prospects for future run-flatsystems and technology through thishistoric joint venture.GOODYEAR 4By collaborating, these two verycompetitive companies can serve the bestinterests of consumers, automakers andour individual companies by dramaticallyspeeding the availability of run-flat tiresystems. Together, Goodyear and Michelinwill establish an industry standard and indoing so advance automotive safety.A new standard will encourageautomakers to add run-flats as originalequipment. Consumer demand is growing.More than half of those responding to astudy of new car owners said they wouldlike run-flat tires on their next vehicle.Also during 2000, we made strategicinvestments in companies that have revolutionized tire pressure monitoring andmaintenance. Our commercialization ofthese technologies from Cycloid Companyand Phase IV Engineering could hastenthe acceptance of run-flat tire systemsand the elimination of low air pressure asa safety concern. Goodyear is deeplyinvolved in the development of leadingedge automotive safety technology.Our off-road tire business introducedadvanced technology intelligent systemsthat monitor tire performance and allowmine operators to review it on a realtime basis. Engineered Products unveileda conveyor belt monitoring program thatruns on a hand-held computer.Manufacturing AdvancementsDuring the year we opened a secondchemical manufacturing facility inBeaumont, Texas, announced plans tobuild a molded products plant in Mexicoand signed an agreement with PhoenixAutomotive to share hose manufacturingcapacity in Europe and North America.All of these moves will better allow us toserve our customers.In contract negotiations, Goodyearmanufacturing associates represented bythe United Steelworkers of Americaagreed to replace wage increases withstock options. This provision, unique inour industry, creates an incentive forassociates to add shareholder value andallows Goodyear to bypass some of thehigher labor costs our competitors willbe forced to absorb.
IMPACT, our breakthrough tire manufacturing technology, is proving itsvalue through installations at threeplants. Our objective with IMPACT is notto simply automate production, it is toproduce tires with even more precisionand higher quality for our customers.Outlook for 2001As we enter 2001, indications are thatraw material costs and currencies areslowly beginning to move in a directionthat benefits Goodyear. U.S. auto andtruck sales, however, are slowing fromprevious record high levels.Goodyear will not wait for externalfactors to increase its profitability. Wehave been aggressively cutting coststhroughout the organization and rationalizing production. We will be aggressivein increasing prices where market conditions allow.As the replacement tire markets continue their movement toward quality-oriented brands, Goodyear is well positionedto profitably grow our market share.Our plans include taking advantageof the strongest tire brand line-up in theindustry. The Dunlop brand will play anincreasingly important role in NorthAmerica and Europe. We will significantly increase Goodyear’s and Dunlop’smarketing support to grow their marketshare during 2001.In North America, Dunlop is positioned as part of our “G3” package withthe Goodyear and Kelly brands. Thisgives our retailers the opportunity toserve all consumers whether they arebrand-, outlet- or value-oriented.In Europe, Dunlop joined Goodyearand Fulda as our prestige brand offerings. Sava, Debica and Pneumant aremarketed as value-priced brands.Our sales efforts will be supportedby targeted marketing, advertising andpublic relations. We will continue addingdistribution to make it easier for consumers to choose tires from theGoodyear family of brands in a crowdedmulti-brand field. Our leadership inchannel management will make surethese tires are available wherever consumers want to buy them.In the face of an auto industryslowdown, we expect our NorthAmerican Tire business to capture moreoriginal equipment wheel positions as agrowing number of new vehicle buyersask for Goodyear tires.You expect Goodyear to be profitable even when circumstances turnagainst us. So do we.Management Team ChangesDuring 2000, our company made severalmanagement changes that strengthenour leadership for 2001 and beyond.Most notably, Bob Keegan joinedGoodyear as president and chief operating officer on October 1. He brings28 years of experience in the consumerproducts arena, most recently aspresident of Kodak’s global consumerimaging business.Additionally, we have new leadersin four of our strategic business units.These executives are experienced andhave track records of success. Each hasinitiated changes that hold promise forthis year and the future.Our management team is committed to a dynamic strategy for 2001 andbeyond aimed at improved sales, profitability and cash flow.Determined to LeadWithout a doubt, the difficult economicand marketplace conditions of 2000have slowed Goodyear’s progress. Theyhave not, however, caused us to lose ourfocus or our determination. We welcomechange in our industry. In fact, we planto aggressively lead it.With our strategy and core valuesas guideposts, an energized leadershipteam and the unwavering dedication ofGoodyear’s associates around the world,we are committed to delivering superiorperformance to our shareholders.Respectfully submitted,Samir G.

Goodyear Quality CommitmentGoodyear and Quality. The twowords are permanently joined –and have been for more than a century.From our first carriage tire in 1898to today’s Aquatred 3 and tomorrow’snext-generation run-flats and automatictire inflation systems, Goodyear hassought to lead the industry in the evolution of tires to meet continually newdemands presented by the environment,vehicles and drivers.Our goal, each and every day, is toprovide the ultimate in quality, securityand performance. Around the world,Goodyear associates work together toimprove our manufacturing systems, ourprocesses, our products and our services.This quality commitment ensuresGoodyear tires, engineered products,chemicals and services offer our customers superior performance, valueand dependability.In our technology centers, engineersuse advanced computer software, finiteelement analysis and proprietary modeling programs to develop and test new tiredesigns. Working with our automotivecustomers, we simulate dynamic vehiclebehavior and study how tires performwhen braking, steering, accelerating andskidding under an almost endless varietyof operating conditions. Data analyzedwith Goodyear-developed software allowsour engineers to map treadwear and treadcontact pressures.Our engineers’ resources alsoinclude computational tools in tiremechanics, materials and manufacturingdeveloped through our seven-year partnership with the U.S. Department ofEnergy’s Sandia National Laboratories.Rigorous TestingOnce our engineers are satisfied – andonly when they are satisfied – highlyskilled technicians use the computergenerated design specifications to buildtest tires that undergo rigorous evaluation in the laboratory and at our six tireevaluation tracks. Our tire tests loggedmore than 100 million miles last year.Goodyear Chemical’s newstate-of-the-science plant,built next to its existingfacility in Beaumont,Texas, produces syntheticrubber and specialty polymers for use in tires andother rubber products.The tests continue even after a tireis approved for production. Normallyhidden interior components are madevisible through X-rays, holography andshock wave analysis. Laser vibrationtests are used to review handling characteristics. Quality control associatesreview statistical process data andvisually inspect individual tires.Randomly selected tires are sent backto our technology centers for even moreanalysis. Still more tires are evaluatedon the roadway, where real-worldperformance is observed and adjustedfor in future product designs.Before any tire is sold, we know thatwith proper care it will be the safest,most reliable tire we can manufacture.We know the quality is there whetherthe tire is designed for use on a car, aminivan, an SUV, a truck, a bus, a tractor,an earthmover or even a jet plane.Goodyear’s Aquatred 3 tire offersenhancements in wet and drytraction, handling, ride comfortand treadwear over its predecessor.Nearly 65 percent of Aquatredowners buy another set when it istime to replace them.GOODYEAR 7
The popular Dunlop Radial Rover light truck tire offers sportutility vehicle owners an ideal balance of smooth, quieton-road performance and off-road traction and durability.Technology for TomorrowGoodyear has made quantum leaps intire performance and durability in recentyears. One example is our ultra-tensilesteel technology, which was developedas the next-generation of passenger tirereinforcement. The world’s strongest tirereinforcement material, ultra-tensilesteel is 40 percent stronger than conventional tire wire and, as a sidewallreinforcement, can improve cut resistance, handling performance in wet anddry conditions, ride comfort, fuel efficiency and treadwear.This technology allowed the furtherevolution of the run-flat tire. Formotorists, run-flat tires mean they cansafely drive with a damaged tire untilreaching a Goodyear retailer to repair orreplace it.Goodyear has partneredwith Cycloid Company toexpand use of its continuous tire pressure monitoring and inflation system toautomobiles, light trucksand vans.Goodyear’s next-generation of runflat tires will use technologies developedthrough our joint ventures with Michelinand help set a new standard for theindustry. Our partnerships with CycloidCompany and Phase IV Engineering willimprove air pressure monitoring systemsand lead to tires that re-inflate themselves.Our advancements in polymer science and rubber compounding have ledto tires with outstanding traction andlong treadwear. Since 1991, three successive generations of Aquatred tires haveexceeded previous levels of traction onrain-soaked roads. Today’s Aquatred 3 hasoutstanding wet and dry traction, plus an80,000-mile limited treadwear warranty.New winter tires from both Goodyear andDunlop offer secure traction on ice, snowor slush.In our factories, we have begun tomake use of IMPACT, our advanced tiremanufacturing system. Goodyear wouldnot settle for a process that just produces less expensive tires. We insisted onachieving higher levels of precision,quality and manufacturing flexibility. Thisresults in tires of greater uniformity forimproved ride, handling, treadwear anddurability. IMPACT reaffirms our highquality, low-cost manufacturing leadership for the new millennium.As part of our historic joint venture withMichelin, we are producing Goodyeardesigned Pax run-flat tires for evaluationby automakers.GOODYEAR 8But, even with our latest technology and manufacturing improvements,tires are not indestructible. The demandsplaced on them, the speeds at whichthey’re driven and the environment inwhich they must perform have becomemore challenging. Even the best tirecan fail if it is run under-inflated oroverloaded, or is subjected to a severeimpact.Goodyear researchers and engineers –working on their own and in collaboration with partners around the world –are pushing the limits of technology,nearing breakthroughs that hold thepromise for significantly enhanced tireperformance, durability and safety inthe future.
