By the numbers, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. enjoyed very positive results in the second quarter of its 2015 fiscal year.
How it turned a $192 million profit, and posted record operating income to boot, was discussed during the company's conference call on July 29. Modern Tire Dealer Editor Bob Ulrich listened in; his latest blog details what was said, and helps explain why Goodyear Chairman and CEO Rich Kramer is so happy.
Ulrich keys on five topics:
1. Global pricing,
2. Online tire sales,
3. The Kelly Edge powerline,
4. Latin American economics, and
5. Winter tire sales in Europe.
