Michelin Americas adds TravelCenters to X One network

Further outlets have been added to Michelin Americas Truck Tires’ fleet network following an agreement with TravelCenters of America (TA), operator of the TA and Petro Stopping Centers branded travel centres. The addition of these TA/Petro locations will expand the total number of Michelin X One servicing dealers to nearly 2,000 locations throughout the US.

“TA has a comprehensive offering for drivers and fleets.  Michelin is looking forward to working with the TA/Petro network to offer the fuel and weight savings benefits of the Michelin X One tyre to their customers,” said Vic Koelsch, chief operating officer, Michelin Americas Truck Tires. “Through the Michelin ONCall network, fleets running Michelin X One tyres have comparable road availability to that of our dual tyres. The addition of over 200 TA locations and 450 service trucks will strengthen Michelin X One’s coverage even more, helping increase our customers’ uptime and solidifying the X One tyre as an overall solution.”

Several X One fitments will be introduced at over 200 travel centres across the United States, beginning in September. “We are pleased to have entered this agreement with Michelin and to be able to offer our fleet and owner-operator customers the widest available variety of tyre replacement choices,” said Tom O’Brien, president and CEO of TravelCenters.
