Two lines of commercial tires are being made with a renewable soybean oil compound as part of the soy checkoffs research investment, according to the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company.
The Goodyear Metro Miler G152 and G652 tires for transit buses along with the popular Endurance WHA waste haul tire are now made with soybean oil, which replaces a portion of the petroleum-based materials used in their production.
