Goodyear’s Second-Quarter Income Rises

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.’s second-quarter profit rose to $56 million or 26 cents a share, from $2 million or 1 cent last year.

Sales rose to $4.9 billion from $4.7 billion a year ago, Goodyear said Thursday.

North American tire sales dipped 3%, mostly due to the company’s exit from certain segments of the private-label tire market, Goodyear said.
