                of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CONSOLIDATED

     Sales for the first quarter of 1995 were $3.24 billion, increasing 11.5
percent from sales of $2.91 billion in the first quarter of 1994.  Net income
was $133.3 million or $.88 per share in the first quarter of 1995, increasing
14.9 percent from net income of $116.0 million or $.77 per share in the first
quarter of 1994.

     The Company's tire unit sales increased 2.6 percent from 1994's first
quarter, due to increased volume in the international original equipment and
replacement markets.  Tire revenue growth exceeded tire unit growth, due
primarily to higher average selling prices resulting from both worldwide
pricing improvements and the favorable effect of the strengthening of various
European currencies versus the U.S. dollar.

     Cost of goods sold increased as a percent of sales compared to 1994's
first quarter due primarily to higher raw material and labor costs.  Raw
material costs are expected to continue to increase in 1995 and remain higher
than in 1994.  Manufacturing costs were favorably impacted by productivity
improvements, efficiencies resulting from continued high levels of capacity
utilization and the effects of ongoing cost containment measures.

     Selling, administrative and general expenses decreased as a percent of
sales, reflecting higher revenues, efficiencies achieved through increased unit
sales volume and the effects of ongoing cost containment measures.  Net income
also benefited from a lower effective tax rate.  Other income and expense was
adversely impacted by lower interest income on time deposits, but related
foreign currency exchange expense was also lower, both of which were due in
part to the effects the Brazilian economic plan.

     Effective July 1, 1994, the Brazilian government implemented a new
economic plan (the Real plan) designed to reduce inflation.  The Real plan did
not adversely affect net income in Brazil or unit sales in either Brazil or its
export markets.  However, while sales increased, segment operating income in
Brazil decreased due to lower interest income on time deposits resulting in
part from the effects of the Real plan.  Operations in Brazil accounted for
approximately 6 percent of consolidated sales and 13 percent of consolidated
operating income in the 1995 period, compared to approximately 5 percent and 16
percent, respectively, in the 1994 period.  Due to the potential volatility of
Brazil's economy, it is uncertain if this level of contribution will continue
in future periods.

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS 121), "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."  SFAS 121
establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets,
certain intangibles, and related goodwill, and is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995.  The adoption of SFAS 121 is not expected to
have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial
position.

INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

     Segment operating income of $297.4 million increased 8.7 percent from
$273.7 million in the 1994 period.  Segment operating margin was 9.2 percent in
the 1995 period compared to 9.4 percent in the 1994 period.

Tires

     Sales of $2.74 billion increased 10.2 percent from $2.49 billion in the
1994 period.  Operating income of $246.7 million increased 4.6 percent from
$235.9 million in the 1994 period.

     Sales increased due primarily to higher average selling prices, resulting
from both worldwide pricing improvements and the favorable affect of the
strengthening of various European currencies versus the U.S. dollar.  Sales
also increased due to higher unit sales volume resulting from increased demand
for the Company's products in the international original equipment and
replacement markets.

     The following table presents changes in tire unit sales:

</TABLE>

     Unit sales in the U.S. decreased primarily in the replacement market.
Although unit sales were also lower in the U.S. original equipment market,
original equipment volume in North America (U.S. and Canada) was higher.  The
Company expects demand in the original equipment market in North America during
1995 to be approximately the same as during 1994.  International (including
Canada) unit sales increased in both the original equipment and replacement
markets.


     Operating income increased due to pricing improvements, increased
international unit volume, productivity improvements,





                                       7.

efficiencies resulting from continued high levels of capacity utilization and
the effects of ongoing cost containment measures.  Operating income was
adversely impacted by higher raw material and labor costs and lower interest
income in Brazil.

     Tire segment operating income in Brazil decreased due to lower interest
income.  Operations in Brazil accounted for approximately 6 percent of tire
segment sales and 12 percent of tire segment operating income in the first
quarter of 1995, compared to approximately 5 percent and 14 percent,
respectively, in the first quarter of 1994.

General Products

     Sales of $473.7 million increased 15.5 percent from $410.3 million in the
1994 period.  Operating income of $42.8 million increased slightly from $42.6
million in the 1994 period.

     Sales in engineered products increased due primarily to higher volume, but
operating income was lower as a result of higher raw material and labor costs.
Sales and operating income in chemical products increased due primarily to
improved volume and pricing, although operating income was adversely affected
by higher raw material costs.

     General products segment operating income in Brazil decreased due to lower
interest income.  Operations in Brazil accounted for approximately 7 percent of
general products segment sales and 20 percent of general products operating
income in the first quarter of 1995, compared to approximately 6 percent and 25
percent, respectively, in the first quarter of 1994.

Oil Transportation

     Sales of $30.6 million increased from $13.5 million in the 1994 period.
Operating income was $7.9 million, compared to an operating loss of $4.8
million in the 1994 period.  The improvement was due primarily to increased
throughput in the All American Pipeline System, higher average tariff revenues
and the effects of ongoing cost containment measures.  Operating income in the
1995 period included a charge of $5.0 million for the writedown of surplus
construction pipe, material and equipment.

     The Company anticipates that quarterly revenue in the oil transportation
segment for the remainder of 1995 will be at substantially the same level as
the first quarter and annual revenue in 1996 will be substantially the same as
in 1995.

U.S. Operations

     Sales of $1.81 billion increased 4.3 percent from $1.74 billion in the
1994 period.  Operating income of $122.5 million decreased 8.9 percent from
$134.4 million in the 1994 period.

     Sales were higher due to increased volume in engineered and chemical
products, pricing improvements, and higher throughput and average tariff
revenues in the All American Pipeline System.

     Operating income decreased due primarily to increased raw material and
labor costs and lower tire unit sales.  Operating income was favorably affected
by improved results in oil transportation activities, pricing improvements,
productivity improvements, efficiencies resulting from continued high levels of
capacity utilization and the effects of ongoing cost containment measures.

International Operations

     Sales of $1.43 billion increased 22.0 percent from $1.17 billion in the
1994 period.  Operating income of $174.9 million increased 25.6 percent from
$139.3 million in the 1994 period.

     In Europe, sales and operating income increased due primarily to improved
tire unit sales volume and mix.  Sales revenue also reflects the favorable
impact of currency translations.  Operating income benefited from improved
productivity, although manufacturing costs, primarily for raw materials, were
higher.

     In Latin America, sales increased, especially in Brazil, and operating
income was higher due primarily to improved tire unit sales volume and
productivity improvements.  Operating income was adversely affected by
increased raw material costs, adverse economic conditions in Mexico and lower
interest income in Brazil.

     In Asia, sales and operating income increased due primarily to improved
results in natural rubber operations, higher tire unit sales volume and pricing
and productivity improvements.  Operating income was adversely affected by
increased raw material costs.

     In Canada, sales and operating income increased due primarily to higher
tire unit sales volume and lower selling, administrative and general expenses,
although raw material costs were higher.

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Net cash used in operating activities was $246.5 million during the first
three months of 1995, as reported on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Working capital requirements increased for accounts receivable, reflecting
higher selling prices and increased unit sales, and inventories, reflecting
higher raw material costs and increased inventory quantities.  Cash was also
used for pension funding.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $94.4 million during the first
three months of 1995.  Capital expenditures of $101.4 million were the primary
use of cash for investing activities.  Capital expenditures were primarily for
plant modernizations and expansions and new tire molds and are expected to
total approximately $650 million in 1995.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $396.7 million during the
first three months of 1995.  Additional debt was incurred in the period to
support the previously mentioned increased working capital requirements,
pension funding and capital expenditures.  Consolidated debt at March 31, 1995
was $1,816.7 million, an increase of $481.1 million from December 31, 1994.
Consolidated debt represents 38.4 percent of total debt plus shareholders'
equity, compared to 32.3 percent at December 31, 1994.

     In order to reduce the impact of changes in variable interest rates on
consolidated results of operations and future cash outflows for interest, the
Company has entered into various interest rate contracts.  At March 31, 1995
interest rate swap contracts totaling $445 million in notional principal amount
were in place whereunder the Company pays a fixed amount and receives a
variable amount equivalent to LIBOR.  The interest rate contracts fix the
effective interest cost of floating rate debt and, at March 31, 1995, had an
average life to maturity of 1.4 years, a weighted average stated fixed rate of
8.95 percent and would cost an estimated $11.9 million to sell or unwind.
During the first quarter of 1995, the Company paid under these contracts a
weighted average fixed rate of 8.95 percent and received various LIBOR rates
equivalent to a weighted average of 6.43 percent.  The Company was also party
to an interest rate contract of $50 million in notional principal amount at
March 31, 1995 whereunder the Company pays a variable rate based on LIBOR and
receives a fixed rate.  At March 31, 1995 this contract had a life to maturity
of 3.0 years, a stated fixed rate of 6.69 percent and would cost an estimated
$.4 million to sell or unwind.  During the first quarter of 1995, the Company
paid under this contract a variable rate averaging 5.61 percent and received a
fixed rate of 6.69 percent.  At March 31, 1995, the interest rate on
approximately 60 percent of the Company's debt was fixed by either the nature
of the obligation or through the interest rate contracts, compared to 73
percent at

December 31, 1994.

     Substantial short term and long term credit sources are available to the
Company globally under normal commercial practices.  At March 31, 1995 the
Company had short term credit lines and overdraft arrangements totaling $1.6
billion, of which $479.8 million were unused.  The Company also had available
long term credit sources at March 31, 1995 totaling $1.9 billion, of which $1.2
billion were unused.

     Funds generated by operations, together with funds available under
existing credit arrangements, are expected to be sufficient to meet currently
anticipated funding requirements.

                           PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         Reference is made to the Annual Report of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Company (the "Registrant") on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994
(the "Annual Report"), wherein at Item 3, pages 14, 15 and 16, Registrant
reported certain legal proceedings.

         Registrant reports the following developments in respect of one of the
legal proceedings described at Item 3 of the Annual Report:

         As reported at paragraph (C) of Item 3, at page 15, of the Annual
Report, Registrant is a defendant in a civil action, Eastman Kodak Company, et
al. v Goodyear and Shell Oil Company, in the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Tennessee, Northeastern Division, whereunder plaintiffs
allege infringement of a patent (which expired in December of 1994) in respect
of certain processes used in the manufacture of polyester resin at the Pt
Pleasant, West Virginia polyester resin facility owned and operated by
Registrant until sold to Shell Oil Company on December 18, 1992.  The Court
ruled that the patent did not cover the processes used in eight of the plant's
production lines.  However, on April 28, the jury rendered a judgment of
$12,000,000, plus interest at the rate of 6.28% and court costs, against
Registrant and Shell Oil Company, having decided that Registrant and Shell had
infringed the patent in the operation of two production lines, but that such
infringement was not willful.  Registrant will appeal the judgment that it
infringed the patent, as well as the measure of damages imposed.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

         The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Company (the "Registrant") was held on April 10, 1995 (the "Annual Meeting").

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), there was no
solicitation in opposition to the four nominees of the Board of Directors
listed in the Proxy Statement of Registrant, dated February 27, 1995, for the
Annual Meeting (the "Proxy Statement"), filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Act, and each of the four
nominees of the Board of Directors was elected at the Annual Meeting to a three
year term.  The four directors elected at the Annual Meeting were:  (1) John G
Breen, (2) William E Butler, (3) Stanley C Gault, and (4) George H Schofield.
The seven directors whose terms of office as directors continued after the
meeting were:  (A) Gertrude G Michelson, Charles W Parry, William C Turner, and
Hoyt M Wells, whose terms expire in 1996, and (B) Thomas H Cruikshank, Steven A
Minter and Agnar Pytte, whose terms expire in 1997.  Mr Wells retired from the
Board of Directors effective April 14, 1995.

         (2)  RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS.  A
resolution proposed by the Board of Directors of Registrant that the
shareholders ratify the action of the Board of Directors in selecting and
appointing Price Waterhouse as independent accountants for Registrant for the
year ending December 31, 1995 was submitted to, and voted upon by, the
shareholders of Registrant.  There were 132,330,210 votes cast in favor of, and
335,193 votes cast against, said resolution.  The holders of 429,130 shares
abstained. There were no "broker nonvotes".  Accordingly, the resolution
received the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of
Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and,
therefore, said resolution was adopted and the appointment of Price Waterhouse
as the independent accountants for Registrant for 1995 was ratified by the
shareholders.  The resolution and related information are set forth under the
caption "Ratification of Appointment of Independent Accountants" at page 7 of
the Proxy Statement.

         issued upon the exercise of such Rights.  Reference is made to to the
         Note captioned "Preferred Stock Purchase Rights Plan" in the Notes to
