AKRON, OHIO -- Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. has launched a new commercial tire Web site - www.goodyear.com/truck.

The company said the new site “coincides with a new study that shows trucking companies are increasingly outsourcing tire and equipment maintenance work. The new Web site “includes more powerful tire evaluation software tools now available to fleets, new emergency roadside service and a wealth of information on tire inflation and load capacities.”

"Our vision is to do more than just manufacture quality tires," Steve McClellan, vice president of Goodyear commercial tire systems, said. "We want to create business solutions that are measurable, repeatable and sustainable. That means working with end users to manage their tires from original equipment to replacement and retreads, and delivering service and value along the way."
