Goodyear's original equipment tires for pickups and fullsize vans have received the highest customer satisfaction ranking among buyers in the United States, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2004 Original Equipment Tire Satisfaction Study(SM), released today.
"Goodyear has a tradition of excellent tire performance, and this year we are delighted to earn the highest ranking in the prestigious J.D. Power and Associates study," said Larry Mason, president of consumer tires for Goodyear's North American Tire division. "Goodyear is committed to providing products that meet the needs of customers, and it is a confirmation of the hard work by many Goodyear associates and the vehicle manufacturers whom we supply with product."
Goodyear tires are original equipment on many SUVs and light trucks from Acura, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, GMC, Honda, Infiniti, Isuzu, Jeep, Land Rover, Lexus, Mazda, Mercury, Nissan and Toyota. Traditionally, more new vehicles in North America are equipped with Goodyear tires than any other brand.
"This is further verification that Goodyear is following through on its plan to lead the tire industry in technology and innovation. We have spoken of product leadership and quality as among the core strategies guiding Goodyear's business turnaround, and this achievement is reflective of that focus," said Mason.
