Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special Arizona counsel to The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, an Ohio corporation (the Company), and its subsidiaries Divested Litchfield Park Properties, Inc., an Arizona corporation (DLPP), and Goodyear Farms, Inc., an Arizona corporation (Goodyear Farms), and are rendering this opinion in connection with the prospectus, dated May 13, 2020 (the Base Prospectus), as supplemented by the prospectus supplement, dated May 20, 2020 (the Prospectus Supplement and, together with the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus), relating to the registration statement on Form S-3 (the Registration Statement) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act), on May 13, 2020 and the offer and sale of: (i) an additional $200,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Companys 9.500% Senior Notes due 2025 (the Notes) and (ii) guarantees of the Notes (the Guarantees) by certain subsidiaries of the Company listed on Schedule A hereto (collectively, the Guarantors), in each case to be issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of August 13, 2010 (the Base Indenture), among the Company, the Guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the Trustee), as supplemented by the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 18, 2020 (the Supplemental Indenture), among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee (the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture).
