Goodyear Unveils Line Of Brakes

Goodyear Brakes manufacturers all of its brake pads in the United States, using leading green manufacturing processes.

The new line of Goodyear Brakes, a licensee of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., provides premium quality brake bundles, calipers, rotors, brake pads and all the hardware for today’s most popular vehicles, from daily drivers to SUVs as well as light trucks. This new line of brakes is all backed by a national warranty and decades of production experience.

“The Goodyear Brakes product lineup offers the ideal solution for almost every braking need – whether drivers are looking to save money on their vehicle repairs, upgrade their performance or restore their perfect car,” said Bruno Massel, automotive expert. Massel is also a NHRA driver and pit reporter and host of “Truck U” and “Garage Squad.” 

“Goodyear Brakes provides all of the information and advice you need to plan your project, order your braking components and install your brakes at GoodyearBrakes.com. Whether you’re an accomplished mechanic or a do-it-yourselfer, you can now tackle your brake replacement with confidence backed by one of the most trusted automotive brands,” added Massel.

GoodyearBrakes.com is designed to support both do-it-yourself and do-it-for-me customers. The Goodyear Brakes unique direct-to-consumer platform offers motorists an easy to use system for ordering everything they need for their brake project. This information is all based on the vehicle’s VIN and license plate along with their driving needs. This is backed by online expert advice, “How To” videos and guidance that do-it-yourselfers need to replace their own brakes. For consumers who want to purchase the highest-quality parts and have them installed by a qualified technician, Goodyear Brakes provides an easy and economical option.

Goodyear Brakes manufactures and distributes a full line of brake system solutions. The brake pads are manufactured in the U.S. using a proprietary green production process by a company with more than 50 years of experience in friction science. The rotors are made to Original Equipment Manufacturer Standards (OEM) by OEM-approved manufacturers around the world, the company adds. Calipers are remanufactured in North America, and today a majority of that manufacturing process has returned to the United States, bringing important manufacturing jobs back to the American economy, Goodyear says.
