APRIL 14, 2016 – News Release

MICHELIN® TIRE CARE™ added to MICHELIN® COMMERCIAL SERVICE NETWORK™ offer in Canada

New advanced tire-monitoring program created to maximize uptime and control costs

LAVAL, QC., April 14, 2016 — Michelin North America (Canada) Inc. announced today the launch of MICHELIN® TIRE CARE™, a fully digital fleet tire-monitoring program.

This new monitoring program is overseen by trained MICHELIN® Commercial Service Network™ (MCSN) technicians who employ state-of-the-art equipment that captures truck tire data electronically. Fleet operators use the data to maximize fleet uptime and control tire-related costs. The program promises to benefit fleets by reducing road service calls; improving Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) scores; maximizing fuel economy; and increasing tire mileage. All of the maintenance data captured through the network are made available to fleets in real-time. The program will be regularly audited by Michelin to ensure consistent, high-quality work.

“Canada’s fleet operations and maintenance managers are looking for consistent, dependable tire monitoring and evaluation. MICHELIN TIRE CARE gives them the additional information and technical insights they need to help them get the best return on investment from their tires,” said Harold Phillips, chief operating officer, Michelin North America (Canada) Inc. “TIRE CARE is a valuable new component of our existing service offers – all of which are aimed at improving a fleet’s performance, and ultimately its bottom line.”

MICHELIN TIRE CARE provides two programs to choose from:
• Fleet Ready maximizes uptime by providing regular tire monitoring for air pressure, tread depth, valve caps, irregular wear, plus a full visual inspection scheduled at a pre-determined frequency chosen by the fleet. From this information, technicians provide actionable summary reports that highlight immediate needs and project tire replacement.

• Fleet Fit maximizes uptime and controls tire-related costs by bringing fleets all the benefits of Fleet
Ready, plus guidance on tire by wheel position and application, tire forecasting, budgeting, and tire optimization by vehicle.

As an additional benefit for Fleet Ready and Fleet Fit customers, TIRE CARE includes access to Road Ready – over-the-road tire monitoring to help fleets protect their vehicles on the go while travelling through the United States. Currently, Road Ready is exclusively available at Love’s Travel Stops in their TIREPASS fuel lanes.

TIRE CARE is backed by a guarantee. Michelin stands behind the fact that TIRE CARE will reduce road service calls, improve CSA scores, increase driver satisfaction and/or maximize tire performance.
