OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 28, 2003 -- On October 23, 2003, a Securities Class action was filed on behalf of shareholders of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. ("Goodyear") for the class period from October 22, 1998 through October 22, 2003. The lawsuit alleges that Goodyear issued false and misleading earnings thereby causing Goodyear shares to trade at artificially inflated levels.
