Wingfoot Commercial Tire Opens 23rd Pilot Truck Care Center

Wingfoot Commercial Tire Systems LLC has announced that it is opening a new Pilot Truck Care Center in Oklahoma City, Okla.

The new center is located at 410 S. Morgan Road on Interstate 40, Exit 140. It will provide trucking fleets with new tires, retreads, limited mechanical service, preventive maintenance and roadside assistance.

Wingfoot COO and President Brent Copeland said, “This new center supports our truck tire customers and their request for an on-highway presence. It is important that we bring our fleet maintenance services closer to where they’re needed. We also look forward to being a part of the community.”

“In addition, the Oklahoma City center is another big step in our effort to help lower trucking fleets’ tire and maintenance operating costs with important tire- and maintenance-tracking tools available in more locations throughout the United States,” he said.

Wingfoot Commercial Tire Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., has more than 170 commercial tire sales, service and retread facilities nationwide. With the addition of the new truck care center in Oklahoma City, Wingfoot Commercial Tire Systems now has 23 on-highway Pilot Truck Care Centers nationwide. (Tire Review/Akron)
