Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is rolling out its new Endurance LHD long-haul tire and a new service-management tool.

The Goodyear Endurance LHD will launch later this year and the company also plans to offer three SmartWay-approved Kelly Armorsteel long-haul tires. Also available are the Goodyear Endurance WHA waste-haul tire, Endurance WHA retread, Endurance RSA for regional and urban delivery, Fuel Max RSA for regional fleets, Marathon long-haul tires, Workhorse mixed-service tire, and UniCircle retreads.

The company is also offering a new service management tool that's built on the Goodyear Smart Tech App. The tool will help dealers manage resources more effectively. It features a live dashboard that reports the location and status of road service technicians.

Goodyear will add Bluetooth capabilities to the tool, which will allow road service technicians to check and record fleet tire data electronically. The company also announced an OTR Proposal Developer to help dealers' sales teams make it easier to sell Goodyear OTR tires.

“Goodyear is the only tire company that offers the 'Total Solution' of trusted products, a nationwide network, reliable services and fleet management tools – all designed to help fleets lower their operating costs,” said Gary Medalis, marketing director.
