Memphis, TN partners with Preteckt and Goodyear on bus tire evaluation pilot

Memphis, TN Preteckt Goodyear Bus Tire Evaluation Pilot

Complete

Memphis Area Transit Authority (MATA) conducted weekly tread depth measurements of its bus fleet. Fifteen thousand measurements were entered into Preteckt's predictive maintenance platform for evaluation. Two buses were outfitted with upgraded Goodyear tires and two buses used standard tires during a short-term pilot. Results from the Preteckt platform found standard tires became worn out twice as fast as the experimental tires.
