REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Plan Administrator and Participants
of the Employee Savings Plan for Hourly
Employees (sponsored by The Goodyear Tire
& Rubber Company)
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Employee Savings Plan for Hourly Employees (the "Plan") (sponsored by The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company) at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the changes
in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1999 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for the opinion expressed above.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accounts of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company Employee Savings Plan
for Hourly Employees (the "Plan") are maintained on the accrual basis of
accounting and in accordance with The Northern Trust Company (the
"Trustee") Trust Agreement, effective as of November 1, 1995.
TRUST ASSETS
Savings plans sponsored by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and certain
subsidiaries (the "Company") maintain their assets in a master trust
administered by the Trustee. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company
sponsored five savings plans that participated in the master trust. The
Plan's undivided interest in the trust is presented in the accompanying
financial statements in accordance with the allocation made by the Trustee.
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Plan's undivided interest in the master
trust was 1.9%.
ASSET VALUATION
The majority of the assets of the Plan are valued at fair market value.
Investments in the Company Stock Fund are valued at the last reported sales
price on the last business day of the month. If no sales were reported on
that date, the shares are valued at the last bid price. Investments held in
the Stable Value Fund are invested in various instruments that have a rate
of return, and are reported at contract value. Investments in the
Conservative Asset Allocation Fund, Moderate Asset Allocation Fund,
Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund, S&P 500 Index Stock Equity Fund, Small
Capitalization Stock Equity Fund, Large Capitalization Stock Equity Fund,
and the International Stock Equity Fund are valued based on units of
participation in commingled funds and mutual funds as reported by the fund
manager, which approximates fair market value. The allocation of assets,
interest and dividend income, and realized and unrealized appreciation and
depreciation is made based upon contributions received and benefits paid by
each participating plan on a monthly basis.
INCOME RECOGNITION
Employer and employee contributions are recognized in Plan equity on the
accrual basis of accounting.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY
EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLANS FOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interest income is recorded as earned.
Appreciation or depreciation on Company common stock distributed to
participants is the difference between the weighted average cost and the
current market value at the time of distribution.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Stable Value Fund of the Plan invests part of the fund in investment
contracts of financial institutions with strong credit ratings and has
established guidelines relative to diversification and maturities that
maintain safety and liquidity.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the basic financial
statements and related notes to financial statements. Changes in such
estimates may affect amounts reported in future years.
2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OF THE PLAN:
INCEPTION
The Plan is a defined contribution plan which became effective July 1,
1984.
ELIGIBILITY
Effective January 1, 1999, certain hourly employees of the Company are
eligible to participate in the Plan as of the first enrollment date after
completing three months of continuous service with the Company. Previously,
the continuous service requirement was one year. At the end of the 1999
Plan year, approximately 503 employees (497 in 1998) of the Company were
eligible with approximately 419 employees (422 in 1998) participating in
the Plan.
VESTING
Employee contributions are fully vested. Employer matching contributions
become vested after the participant has completed four years of continuous
service with the Company.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTRIBUTIONS
Eligible employees may elect to contribute any whole percent from 1% to 16%
of earnings including wages, bonuses, commissions, overtime and vacation
pay into the Plan. Participating employees may elect to have their
contributions invested in the Stable Value Fund, Conservative Asset
Allocation Fund, Moderate Asset Allocation Fund, Aggressive Asset
Allocation Fund, S&P 500 Index Stock Equity Fund, Small Capitalization
Stock Equity Fund, Large Capitalization Stock Equity Fund, the
International Stock Equity Fund, or in any combination of these eight funds
in multiples of 1%. The Company calculates and deducts employee
contributions from gross earnings each pay period based on the percent
elected by the employee. Employees may change their contribution percent
any time up to the 15th day of the month for changes to be effective on the
1st day of the following month. Employees may transfer amounts attributable
to employee contributions from one fund to the other on a daily basis.
Eligible employees may enroll in the Plan effective on the 1st day of the
month by enrolling by the 15th day of the prior month. Employees may
suspend their contributions at any time effective immediately.
Employees who are 52 years of age or older are able to transfer employer
contributions from the Company Stock Fund into the Plan's other investment
funds.
The Plan has been established under section 401 of the Internal Revenue
Code. Therefore, employee and employer contributions to the Plan are not
subject to federal withholding tax, but are taxable when they are withdrawn
from the Plan.
The Board of Directors of the Company determines the matching percent used
as the employer contribution for each Plan year. The Company matching
contributions are limited to the first 6% of employee contributions at the
rate of 50% and employee contributions are limited to $10,000 in 1999 and
1998.

The Trustee of the Plan maintains the following ten funds under the Plan:

investment contracts which provide for rates of return for particular

Allocation Fund, Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund, S&P 500 Index Stock
Equity Fund, Small Capitalization Stock Equity Fund, Large Capitalization
Stock Equity Fund, the International Stock Equity Fund, Loan Investment
Fund, and Company Stock Fund have been established for each participant in
the Plan. All accounts are valued daily by the Trustee.
Interest is automatically reinvested in each participant's respective

and companies in the Conservative Asset Allocation Fund, Moderate Asset
Allocation Fund, Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund, S&P 500 Index Stock
Equity Fund, Small Capitalization Stock Equity Fund, Large Capitalization
Stock Equity Fund, the International Stock Equity Fund, and the Company
Stock Fund are reflected in the unit value of the fund which affects the
value of the participants' accounts.
PLAN WITHDRAWALS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Participants may withdraw vested amounts from their accounts if they:
- Attain the age of 59 1/2, or
- Qualify for a serious financial hardship.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued guidelines governing financial
hardship. Under the IRS guidelines, withdrawals are permitted for severe
financial hardship. Contributions to the Plan are suspended for 12 months
subsequent to a financial hardship withdrawal.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Participant vested amounts are payable upon retirement, death or other
termination of employment.
All withdrawals and distributions are valued as of the end of the month
they are processed, and are subject to federal income tax upon receipt. Any
non-vested Company contributions are forfeited and applied to reduce future
contributions by the Company. During 1999, the Plan had no forfeiture
credits. In 1998, the Plan had forfeiture credits of $524.
LOAN INVESTMENT FUND
Eligible employees may borrow money from their participant accounts. The
minimum amount to be borrowed is $1,000. The maximum amount to be borrowed
is the lesser of $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding balance of any
loan during the preceding twelve month period, or 50% of the participant's
vested account balance. Participants may have up to two loans outstanding
at any time. The interest rate charged will be a fixed rate which will be
established at the time of the loan application. The interest rate at the
beginning of 1999 was 8.75%, which increased throughout the year to 9.50%
at December 1999. The interest rate at the beginning of 1998 was 9.50%,
which decreased throughout the year to 8.75% at December 1998.
Loan repayments, with interest, are made through payroll deductions. If a
loan is not repaid when due, the loan balance will be treated as a taxable
distribution from the Plan.
ROLLOVERS
The Plan was amended effective January 1, 1999 to permit employees, Plan
participants, or former Plan participants to transfer eligible cash
distributions from any other employer sponsored plan qualified under
Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code into the Plan by a direct transfer
from such other plan.
EXPENSES
Expenses of administering the Plan are paid partly by the Company and
partly by the Trust. The payment of Trustee's fees and brokerage
commissions associated with the Company Stock Fund are paid by the Company.
Expenses related to the asset management of the investment funds are paid
from such Funds which reduces the investment return reported and credited
to participant accounts.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TERMINATION PROVISIONS
The Company anticipates and believes that the Plan will continue without
interruption, but reserves the right to discontinue the Plan. In the event
of termination, the obligation of the Company to make further contributions
ceases. All participants' accounts would then be fully vested with respect
to Company contributions.
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
The Trustee serves as the fund manager of the S&P 500 Index Stock Equity
Fund.
The Company Stock Fund is designed primarily for investment in common stock
of the Company.
4. TAX STATUS OF PLAN:
The IRS advised on May 22, 1995 that the Plan is qualified in accordance
with the appropriate sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and the trust
established with the Plan constitutes a qualified trust and is therefore
exempt from federal income taxes. The plan administrator does not
anticipate that changes in the Plan or other events occurring after the
receipt of the IRS ruling will affect the qualification of the Plan or the
tax exempt status of the Trust.
5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
Effective June 1, 2000, the Plan was amended to establish a Goodyear Stock
Fund as an investment fund to which employee contributions can be
allocated. Prior to June 1, 2000, the Company Stock Fund only maintained
the employer matching contributions.
The Plan was also amended effective June 1, 2000 to provide a self-directed
account in which the participant may direct their investment or a portion
of their account among a list of mutual funds selected by the Company and
the Trustee. All assets of each self-directed account will be held and
administered as a separate trust fund.
6. FINANCIAL DATA OF THE MASTER TRUST:
