Goodyear bought out Mickey Thompson
 
Wow this is going to hurt a bunch of guys and girls especially if you ran a Pro Radial tire! They discontinued everyone except 2

They bought them last year. They are looking at overlap in product and discontinuing where they had the same tire at both brands.

They are merging the trailer support as well. The trailer at the Gators was both Goodyear and Mickey Thompson. It will allow them to cover more events by sharing trailers.

So far everything is very positive.
