After 2012,, it won't matter who's the official tire of Nascar, per the Mayans. ;-)

Goodyear, NASCAR sign 5-year extension

ORLANDO, Fla. - Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. has reached a five-year contract extension with NASCAR to remain its exclusive tire provider through 2012.

The extension was announced Saturday night at Goodyear's annual dealer conference.

Goodyear has supplied tires to NASCAR since the 1950s, and has been the sole provider since 1994 when Hoosier pulled out.

"Nothing says racing like NASCAR, and Goodyear has been recognized as the longest-running sponsor of the sport," said Jon Rich, president of Goodyear's North American Tire business. "We plan to have our Eagle tires in the winner's circle for another 50 years."

There ain't a lot of other competitors. Hankook is growing fast in this country. I have them on my vehicles and have had great results.
