Intricately designed, handcrafted sculptures feature new Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady 2 tire tread
In celebration of The Ohio State University and the University of Texas meeting in this season's 2025 Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic, two unique pieces of tire art will feature custom designs that highlight the uniqueness of each team's helmet while also showcasing the cutting-edge tread patterns and all-season capabilities of the Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady® 2. This striking visual display represents Goodyear's commitment to performance and reliability, both on the field and on the road.
Each intricate, Goodyear tire-fabricated helmet sculpture stands 5 ½ feet tall and weighs 200 pounds. It took Blake McFarland, Goodyear's commissioned tire artist and former minor league baseball player, over 400 hours to handcraft these one-of-a-kind sculptures from more than 90 Goodyear-branded tires and 3,600 hidden staples.
"The Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic is an exciting event. We are proud to join The University of Texas and The Ohio State University as a part of this celebration of excellence," said Ryan Waldron, President,
The larger-than-life team helmets will serve as the centerpiece for many Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic festivities, including photo opportunities for fans leading up to the game on Friday, Jan. 10 at AT&T Stadium in
In addition to the tire art, Goodyear will bring an interactive experience to fans at the Cotton Bowl Classic with a Goodyear Mobile tire installation van. The van will offer attendees the opportunity to learn more about Goodyear's ability to install tires in their preferred location and Goodyear's newest products, including the Assurance WeatherReady 2 tire designed to provide superior all-season traction, wet performance and long-lasting durability.
Also on display for fans to experience firsthand the performance and reliability that have made Goodyear a trusted name in the tire industry: NASCAR's Garage 56 vehicle, the ABB NASCAR EV Prototype and the Tire Rack One Lap of America winning vehicle, equipped with the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperCar 3 tires that bested competition as it completed the 4,000-mile trip across the country. Last year's One Lap of America victory served as a perfect example of the innovation and endurance that Goodyear tires deliver, from the racetrack to everyday roadways.
"As the official tire of the Cotton Bowl Classic and a brand with deep ties to college football, Goodyear is excited to provide fans and consumers a chance to experience our premium products up close," added Waldron.
