Is there still any tire production there? Many cities have lost production & factories due to the new realities of world trade & production. Good luck with your tinkering!

WELCOME from Nth. LOUISIANA.
welcome to the forum
Yes a lot of test tires and some special racing tires are still produced in Akron. We still have the rubber and polymer technology and there is more to come. Brigestone / Firestone moved some of there main office and testing facilities back to Akron. However Akron has lost almost all of its tire mold and tire building machinery industry. Even the tire press rebuilding business has vanished. But the testing and innovative tech. Is still growing.
