• Goodyear, TravelCenters enter agreement

    July 3, 2013

    Fleets and owner-operators will have increased access to premium Goodyear truck tires thanks to The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company’s new agreement with TravelCenters of America LLC.

    TA Truck Service and Petro:Lube locations will carry thee additional Goodyear Fuel Max truck tires:

    •G399A LHS Fuel Max steer tire

    •G572A LHD Fuel Max drive tire

    •G316 LHT Fuel Max trailer tire

    The tires feature Goodyear’s Fuel Max Technology, which uses cool-running compounds and advanced design technology to help reduce rolling resistance and improve tread life. They will be available and serviced at all TA Truck Service and Petro:Lube truck service facilities within the TA and Petro network by early July 2013, according to TravelCenters officials.

    Select TA and Petro locations currently carry the Goodyear G394 SST DuraSeal + Fuel Max and G392A DuraSeal + Fuel Max wide-base truck tires. Both tires contain Goodyear’s DuraSeal Technology, a gel-like substance built into the tire’s inner liner that instantly seals nail-hole punctures of up to one-quarter inch in diameter in the repairable area of the tire’s tread.
