AKRON, Ohio – Tires can be critical to the success of mining, construction, quarry and port operations, and they can represent a significant investment for businesses in those sectors.

  • Trained Goodyear tire technicians perform fleet surveys, using a special Goodyear EMTrack scanning tool to capture tire inflation, tread depth and other critical measurements.
  • Tire performance data automatically uploads via Bluetooth to a cloud-based platform for password protected storage and easy access.
  • End users download the data into easy-to-read, customizable reports that show tire performance.
End users can view performance data for their tires across their operation and even zero in on specific tires, calculating cost-per-hour, cost-per-ton and other key metrics. “Among other benefits, this will help end users identify, if applicable, maintenance opportunities to help ensure optimal tire performance,” Matson said. “And the information collected through Goodyear EMTrack can also help in forecasting future tire requirements.” For more information about Goodyear OTR products and solutions, visit www.GoodyearOTR.com.
