AKRON, Ohio, Feb. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- To further
enhance the Goodyear Total Solution of trusted products and premier
nationwide service network, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company
(NASDAQ: GT) has introduced Complete Tire Management for commercial
fleets.
By combining Goodyear's best-in-class tire monitoring, insights
and service capabilities, Goodyear Tire Management offers a
complete solution customized for a fleet's needs. The suite of
products and services enable companies to focus on their fleet
management and business operations while Goodyear monitors their
tires and provides actionable and insightful information to
activate tire service where needed.
"Businesses have a lot riding on their tire investments. Their
ability to deliver goods and services for their customers is
dependent on reliable mobility," said Johnny McIntosh, Goodyear's director of
integrated solutions and tire management. "Poorly managed tires can
affect the overall tire life, fuel efficiency and vehicle uptime.
That's why we have introduced Tire Management and remain committed
to helping fleets achieve operational and financial
efficiencies."
Goodyear Tire Management currently focuses on four primary
products:
- Goodyear Tire Optix. This digital inspection
toolset helps fleets quickly and accurately detect critical tire
data, such as tire pressure, tread depth and tire wear conditions.
With real-time alerts and detailed inspection results, Goodyear
Tire Optix helps fleets optimize their long-term tire performance.

- Goodyear CheckPoint. The drive-over reader device
provides automated inspections of tire pressure and tread depth.
Positioned at a fleet yard entrance, this in-ground device scans
passing trucks and triggers alerts to fleet maintenance if there
are any immediate tire concerns that require attention. This
solution enables large numbers of vehicles to be inspected
efficiently and offers a frequently updated snapshot of tire
health.

- Goodyear TPMS Plus. This on-vehicle, active
monitoring system evaluates tire conditions in real-time using
Goodyear's unique, fleet-specific algorithms. TPMS Plus helps
fleets identify critical issues, such as tire air leaks and high
temperatures, while also providing predictive tire maintenance
analytics to help reduce tire related roadside breakdowns.

- Goodyear TireReady. A comprehensive Tire Management
solution, Goodyear TireReady is a tire subscription program
custom-designed to meet the specific needs of an individual fleet.
Goodyear and its dealer network will manage and optimize the entire
lifecycle of a tire – from new tire choices to retreads,
monitoring, service, analytics and more. This all-encompassing
solution allows fleets to focus on their core business while
Goodyear takes care of the tires.
"Goodyear Tire Management helps fleets fully understand tire
costs and performance," said McIntosh. "Fleets that have piloted
Goodyear Tire Management have reduced emergency service spend,
increased tire life and improved retreadability."
With a continued focus on providing commercial fleets with
innovative and effective solutions that enable them to gain
efficiencies in their tire monitoring programs, Goodyear is proud
to bring forward the Complete Tire Management program. For more
