Tire manufacturers

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company Recommendation I recommend buying Goodyear (GT), a global tire manufacturer, which currently trades at $31.50 per share. I believe the stock is undervalued by 40%-50%, with a price target of $47 per share.

Company Overview Goodyear is the third largest global manufacturer of tires, with a market share of 9.2%. The industry is highly concentrated among Bridgestone, Michelin, and Goodyear, with a combined market share of…

Waxing adds a layer of protection and helps the dirt from…

This is a safety measure some car manufacturers use to warn you it is time to get new brake pads. However, if you suddenly hear squealing after it rains, it might just be a sign your brakes are wet.

Once your pads are worn away in places, the squealing noise turns into a grinding sound that sounds like metal rubbing on metal. If you hear this noise, you should get to a shop right away. Driving…

AE occurs when there is a force (impulse) detected by the module that is significant enough to cause the module to begin analysis of the force and to determine whether to deploy the airbag. Depending on the amount and…

Now I am not talking about a calm yell, but a loud and shaking yell. He had yelled my name because the wheel had started to barely graze the white line. That was something I always did when driving and was very well aware of. However, when he yelled it startled me and put my mind back to when he was swerving the car, and I swerved the car all the way into the other lane. I felt my neck yanking as the car swerved. I tried to gain control, but the car was much stronger than me. The shock and…
