Smile: tire photos are here

Goodyear’s fleetHQ dealers now offer photos of a replaced tire during a road service call.

TirePix provides truck owners and fleet managers two photos of the tire that was replaced as part of the detailed call report available with fleetHQ. One photo documents the U.S. DOT information on the tire. The second photo provides a close-up of the damaged area.

The photos are taken after the tire has been removed from service and taken to a fleetHQ dealer facility. The photos are then posted online in a password-protected account -- that the user sets up on fleetHQ.com -- and from where they can be viewed and downloaded. The service is available through participating fleetHQ dealers for a small fee, company officials said.
