Tires that are environmentally friendly, meet high performance standards and support Missouri’s number one agricultural crop are rolling in the capital city. They’re from Goodyear’s soy-based lines, where a portion of the tires’ petroleum content is replaced by renewable soybean oil.
The Cole County Sheriff’s Department is now nine months into testing a set designed specifically for law enforcement.
Kyle Durham, a farmer and chairman of the Missouri Soybean Merchandising Council board of directors, says, “Developing new uses for soy while simultaneously addressing challenges our partners face is key to realizing the bright future for Missouri’s top crop, soybeans. The soy-based tires are an exciting example of the innovation we’re proud to drive through farmers’ investments in their soy checkoff, and we appreciate the partnership from law enforcement in putting this technology to work.”
