I found it, it's 1965! John http://grandprix.com/gpe/tir-003.html The company continued to grow in the US through innovative products but in the mid-1960s the company began to expand internationally and decided to enter Grand Prix racing in 1965 and scored its first win with _Ritchie Ginther_ (http://grandprix.com/gpe/drv-ginric.html) 's _Honda_ (http://grandprix.com/gpe/con-honda.html) in the _1965 Mexican Grand Prix_ (http://grandprix.com/gpe/rr141.html) . Goodyear stayed in F1 (except for a few months in 1980-81) until 1998 by which time it had scored a total of 368 Grand Prix victories. The company's nearest rival is Dunlop with 83 victories.

HA! Now here are some snippets of Goodyear's history from their own website: 1964 Craig Breedlove set speed record at Bonneville Salt Flats, 526.28 mph in a jet-powered Spirit of America equipped with Goodyear tires....Goodyear entered international racing field for first time....New Italian plant started. 1965 Craig Breedlove broke speed record at Bonneville Salt Flats at a speed of 600.601 mph on Goodyear tires....In less than two years after entering international racing competition, Goodyear won the 24 Hours of Le Mans, France.. 1967.A.J. Foyt rode to victory at the Indianapolis 500, and Dennis Hulme won the 1967 World Driving Championship, both on Goodyear tires So while this doesn't answer the question definitely of what year did a Goodyear shod car first win a Formula 1 race, this seems to place it sometime between 1964 and 1967, so maybe my guess of 1967 wasn't so far off after all. What does everyone else have? John In a message dated 12/5/2008 2:02:48 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, red5hilser [at] aol.com writes: Yea, it was. Alberto Ascari and Ferrari were the only ones to give Indy a shot. I think it was in 1952. Either he didn't qualify or was out early in the race. A maserati won in 1939, driven (i Think) by Maury Rose. It was called the Boyle Secial and had shamrocks painted on the sides. Green on a 1930's American race car? Unheard of! Does anyone remember 'The Race of Two Worlds" held at Monza in 1957? It used the infamous banking that we saw in the film Grand Prix. Jimmy Bryan won that one. Moss in a Maserati, the D Type Jaguars and a lone Ferrari were also entered. Luigi Musso was the fastest of the Europeans, but the car DNF'd. Moss took a wicked spin on the banking when a tyre blew, but as unhurt. I've seen films of it. Frightening!
