READY FOR LAUNCH: GOODYEAR HEADS BACK TO THE MOON

AKRON, Ohio, June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Goodyear (NASDAQ: GT) takes on its next bold challenge, returning to the Moon with tires built for the future of human exploration. As part of NASA's Artemis program, Goodyear will supply advanced lunar tires for Lunar Outpost's Pegasus Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV), expected to support astronaut missions on the Moon beginning in 2028.

Designed for operations at the lunar South Pole, Pegasus will enable astronauts to travel farther, operate longer and unlock new scientific exploration capabilities in one of the harshest environments known. Goodyear's lunar tires are built to meet this challenge, engineered to withstand extreme temperature swings, rocky surfaces and low-gravity conditions while helping astronauts move safely and confidently across the lunar surface. Drawing on advanced science and decades of experience, these tires build on Goodyear's work in extreme environments on Earth and in the stars.

"From breaking land speed records to traversing the Moon's surface to pushing the limits of the world's toughest race circuits Goodyear innovations have been helping people travel safely on their own journeys for more than 125 years," said Chris Helsel, senior vice president and Chief Technical Officer. "Goodyear tires first left tread marks on the Moon during the Apollo mission, and since then Goodyear technology and the people behind it have kept making tires worth bragging about."

The development of Pegasus was led by Lunar Outpost, in partnership with General Motors, Goodyear and Leidos, bringing together expertise across automotive, aerospace and technology to support the next chapter of human exploration. This collaboration also reflects Goodyear's vision to be #1 in tires and service, leading innovation on Earth and beyond.
