Michelin Signs US Truck Tyre Deal With InterStar

An additional 237 service locations for US truck drivers and fleet operators seeking Michelin tyres and emergency roadside assistance are now available thanks to an agreement between Michelin Americas Truck Tires and InterStar North America. The deal, which has already taken effect, brings Michelin tyres into InterStar’s network of roadside service centres across the nation.

“Emergency road service is a vital component in keeping trucks moving across the country,” said Guy Pekle, vice president of replacement sales, Michelin Americas Truck Tires. “It is essential for us to ensure that truckers who choose to run on Michelin tyres have the best possible access to our products in an emergency. InterStar has long been a service provider to the trucking community, and we believe that this expansion of Michelin product availability, both standard dual tyres and X One tyres, is a great advantage for truckers.”

“Partnering with Michelin and expanding our offering of their products makes good business sense for us,” said John Shortridge, InterStar CEO. “Michelin has always manufactured top-quality truck tyres, but today we are seeing more and more trucks running on MICHELIN X One wide single tyres. It is evident that these tires are proving their worth with fleets, and we want to be ready to service these customers while they are on the road.”
