With the debut of a tyre featuring a blimp-motif sidewall, Goodyear has finally brought together the two gas-filled objects it is best known for. This striking design adorns the race tyres that Goodyear will supply for upcoming events and commemorates the centenary of the company’s first branded blimp, Pilgrim. The 100th anniversary blimp tyres will debut in April at South Carolina’s Darlington Raceway, home of the Goodyear 400 NASCAR race.
