Michelin launches truck-tire data app MyTechXpert

GREENVILLE, S.C. — Michelin North America Inc. has launched the Michelin MyTechXpert app, the next evolution in the Michelin Truck Tire Technical Data Book.

The app will allow fleet operators and tire dealers to access information for their day-to-day operations, perform analysis on tire wear and tear, choose the most suitable tire for their needs and access the Michelin product portfolio.

"The Michelin MyTechXpert app is something that our fleet and dealer partners have been asking for, and we have been listening," Pierluigi Cumo, vice president of B2B marketing for Michelin North America, said.

"This new mobile truck tire technical database will allow our customers to quickly find detailed information on each tire, locate part numbers and make the most informed decision for their needs."

The MyTechXpert app features: a quick-search feature for tires and common characteristics; tire diagnosis images; technical information from the Michelin Service Manual; and training videos from certified Michelin field engineers.

"Technicians can work faster with quick access to specific information for tires, maintenance activities and expert advice from Michelin," Cumo said. "With the app, they can run initial diagnostics on tire wear, get technical advice and optimize tire costs while reducing the fleet's environmental footprint."

The Michelin MyTechXpert app, compatible with Android and iOS devices, is free to download from Google Play or the App Store.

The app allows both sales representatives and owners to select the best-suited tire for their fleets, Michelin said. With regular updates, users will have up-to-date data, the latest technical advice, as well as features and developments.

The MyTechXpert launch coincides with the 100th anniversary of the first Michelin truck tire technical data book.
