    Market demand for Michelin X One wide single truck tires, which are rolling out fuel savings for fleets across America's highways, is prompting unprecedented growth in the service network that offers Michelin products.

    A total of 180 member travel plazas, truckstops, and shop facilities affiliated with the Professional Transportation Partners LLC (PTP) were officially included in Michelin's “wherever you go” revolution effective September 1, 2008. This is due to the signing of a marketing agreement between Michelin and PTP, company officials announced.

    The agreement between Michelin and PTP should be complete at all 180 PTP shop locations by the end of 2008.
