I found out recently that Panasonic is making tires... bicycle tires.

http://www.panaracer.com/home.php

Installed one just like this on one of my bikes recently.

With this and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! getting into car tires, what other unlikely tire makers are there out there?

Funnily enough, Lego is the world’s largest tire manufacturer.

Garmin sells electronic zappy remote dog collars. Funny thing was, Panaracer sponsored the cycling team I'm on a few years ago

Just like the others have said, they also make bikes (mostly boring mamacharis)

I’m running a set of Panaracer RibMos on my bike currently, and they’re actually pretty damn good for the money (I picked them up for about 2000yen a piece). Granted, like most of my tire choices, they’re excellent dry tires, but kind of meh in the rain, especially on metal surfaces.

They’re actually making pretty good tires and have been for a while. The best bike tires IMO are Continentals, but yeah the Panaracers have always been really great touring/commuting tires.

In the 80s Panaracer made a radial tire for bikes. So there’s that too.
