Basically, by adopting both of the B2B and B2C marketing scheme, Goodyear intends to penetrate into all of the market segments with different products in order to boost the revenue sales and expand the brand availability. Besides that, Goodyear applies strong distribution strategy by relying on 3 types of outlets which are the independent dealers, the manufacturer owned outlets, and the franchised dealers.

In 2003, an estimated 64% of volume was generated by consumption in bars, clubs and petrol stations—accounting for 79% of the value due to the price premium—while retail outlets made up the remaining 36% of volume.
