Goodyear said the proposed lab “would facilitate high-speed testing for the study of tire performance, tire/suspension dynamics and tire-pavement interaction."

Goodyear also said that the new facility would be open for use by non-tire companies and groups.

If built, the lab would be Goodyear’s second facility in Danville. "We have a strong link to the Danville community through our manufacturing plant," said William Hopkins, Goodyear vice president of technology and strategic initiatives. "We are excited about the possibility of performing world-class research in Danville, and strengthening our ties to the community through collaboration and educational advancement."
