Akron, OH: Goodyear has announced that it has created a more relevant Web site for its customers

The site features a dealer locator and simplified search functions to find Goodyear tires by application, wheel position and size. “A fleet’s tire supplier and the fleet manager’s approach to tire management can impact the bottom line,” says Steve McClellan, vice president of commercial tire systems. “Tires become more than just tires; they’re an important element of a fleet’s operating costs.”

Knowledge-based fleet management tools reside in the site’s “business solutions” section. Software and Web-based programs that permit fleets to track tire costs, performance and the status of their retreads are outlined. The section also describes the company’s 4-TIRES-NOW emergency roadside-assistance program.

Technology sections keep fleets updated on the latest innovations, including the award-winning DuraSeal Technology for line-haul trailers and mixed-service applications, as well as Fuel Max line-haul technology for enhanced fuel economy.

The company’s “support” button provides fuel economy information, safety tips, load information, service manuals, warranties, publications and product brochures.

Goodyear’s site also features a newsroom section that offers the latest press releases issued by commercial tire systems. It also provides downloads of Goodyear’s award-winning TireLogic magazine and Highway Hero awards.
