Michelin Americas Truck Tires, a division of Michelin North America, Inc., announced that Fleet Tire will join the MICHELIN® Commercial Service Network™ (MCSN). Fleet Tire operates its commercial/retail locations in Knoxville, Tenn., with five state-of-the-art service trucks and six TIA-certified service specialists. As part of the MCSN, Fleet Tire will offer a complete range of services, including repairs, routine service, diagnostics, inspection, alignments, MICHELIN ONCallTM 24/7/365 emergency road service (ERS), and MICHELIN® TIRE CARE™ preventative tire monitoring for fleets needing service and tires in the busy I-40, I-75, and I-81 highway area.

“As our newest member to the MICHELIN Commercial Service Network family, Fleet Tire has had a 28-year-long relationship with Michelin providing quality service for our Eastern Tennessee fleet customers,” said Ralph Dimenna, chief operating officer for Michelin Americas Truck Tires Division. “The addition of MICHELIN ONCall and MICHELIN TIRE CARE to Fleet Tire’s portfolio of services will amplify the network’s collective service level for fleets located in or traveling through the region.”

The MICHELIN Commercial Service Network is designed to help fleets maximize uptime and ensure consistent, high-quality service from a nationwide franchise network. The addition of Fleet Tire brings the MCSN to approximately 600 locations across the United States. Through this network, Michelin provides fleet customers with a comprehensive service package, including online reporting, MICHELIN ONCall ERS, MICHELIN TIRE CARE tire-monitoring program, and access to skilled technicians and professional equipment, all of which are backed by rigorous certification and audit standards.

Fleet Tire will provide professional service to commercial customers with MICHELIN®, BFGoodrich® and Uniroyal® products that include commercial truck, motor home and trailer, and passenger/light truck tires. Fleet Tire has also offered Michelin Retread Technologies products since 1999.
