Further outlets have been added to Michelin Americas Truck Tires’ fleet network following an agreement with TravelCenters of America (TA), operator of the TA and Petro Stopping Centers branded travel centers.
The addition of these TA/Petro locations will expand the total number of Michelin X One servicing dealers to nearly 2,000 locations throughout the U.S., according to the news, which had been made available outside of North America.
“TA has a comprehensive offering for drivers and fleets. Michelin is looking forward to working with the TA/Petro network to offer the fuel and weight savings benefits of the Michelin X One tire to their customers,” said Vic Koelsch, COO of MNA’s truck tire unit. “Through the Michelin OnCall network, fleets running Michelin X One tires have comparable road availability to that of our dual tires. The addition of over 200 TA locations and 450 service trucks will strengthen Michelin X One’s coverage even more, helping increase our customers’ uptime and solidifying the X One tire as an overall solution.”
Several X One fitments will be introduced at over 200 travel centers across the U.S. beginning in September. “We are pleased to have entered this agreement with Michelin and to be able to offer our fleet and owner-operator customers the widest available variety of tire replacement choices,” said Tom O’Brien, president and CEO of TravelCenters.
