Kelly is one of the oldest tyre brands in the United States. The Kelly-Springfield Tire Company was founded in 1894 in Springfield, Ohio, by Edwin S. Kelly and Arthur Grant. It originally made solid rubber tyres for carriages, and later for cars as well. Since 1935 Kelly has been owned by Goodyear, and its tyres are made in Goodyear plants. Goodyear itself describes Kelly as a simple solution with consistent, reliable performance at a good price, so the brand sits in the budget class - a choice for those who want tyres from a major manufacturer without paying premium prices. In Europe the Kelly range includes summer tyres for passenger cars, such as the Kelly HP and Kelly ST, as well as the Kelly Winter ST and Winter HP winter tyres. The Kelly HP is a summer tyre for compact and mid-size family cars.
