AKRON, Ohio - Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. said on Monday that it plans to close a plant in Tyler, Texas, three weeks after workers at the plant and 15 others went on strike in part because of the tire maker’s plan to shut down the factory.

The plant, which opened in 1962, has produced approximately 25,000 passenger and light truck tires per day.
