The world's largest tire makers
Most tire manufacturers have production sites across the world, but the ranking of the world’s largest tire manufacturers includes top companies with headquarters in Japan, France, Germany, and the United States. Fourth–ranked Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. was the key tire maker with headquarters in the United States. In terms of tire-related sales revenue, Japan's Bridgestone continues to be the main player in the tire manufacturing business, while Germany's Continental is the major player based on overall revenue. However, Continental is active in various fields, including the production of tires, brake systems, tachographs and automotive safety, while Continental’s closest rival, Bridgestone of Japan, generates around 90 percent of its revenue from the tire segment.
