Goodyear announced Monday it had bought Raben Tire Company in a stock deal that includes all of Raben Tire's businesses. Company spokeswoman Barbara Hatala says Raben will continue to operate with its own name for the immediate future.

The Evansville Courier & Press reports that Raben was founded in Evansville in 1952 and now includes more than 30 tire and service locations, multiple retread production plants, a specialty tire house and wholesale distribution centers.
