Morphology

Goodyear = good + year (opaque) = good + year

The company name is eponymous (from the surname Goodyear) and does not denote a literal 'good year'; thus the relation to the component words is not helpful for meaning.

Etymology

Goodyear is an American company named after Charles Goodyear, who discovered a way to make rubber strong and flexible, so his name became linked with tires and other rubber products. That's why the brand Goodyear is known for tyres and tyre-related work.
