Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.'s second-quarter 2015 financial results were up in almost every key category in North America compared to last year.

Replacement tire shipments in the North American business unit were up 1%, while original equipment unit volume was up 9%.

Tire sales in dollars also were down in its other three business segments: European, Middle East and Africa (nearly 20%), Latin America (20%, despite positive results in Mexico and Argentina) and Asia Pacific (3.4%). Tire unit sales and operating income were up in the Asia Pacific region.

Goodyear posted net income of $192 million on net sales of nearly $4.2 billion for its second quarter ended June 30, 2015. That compares to income of $213 million on sales of almost $4.7 billion for the same period last year.
