etc. in your fleet, or signing up with a tire dealer for a fleet tire maintenance program. Having a service call on your schedule can make a massive difference in upfront costs and on-site productivity.”

Continental’ s digital tire monitoring system, ContiConnect, provides construction contractors with a way to monitor the health and performance of their tires. With the digital tire monitoring system, a contractor can choose between a tire mounted sensor or a valve cap sensor to monitor tires. The tire mounted sensor can track pressure, temperature range and mileage, and has Bluetooth capabilities, while the valve cap sensor can measure pressure and temperature range.
Both types of sensors can be paired with either of Continental’ s digital tire monitoring systems ContiConnect Live or ContiConnect Yard. For construction contractor vehicles,
Continental recommends utilizing their ContiConnect Yard solution due to its ease of integration and less hardware components, which for fleets who regularly return to a dedicated checkpoint daily usually offers the highest return on investment.
Goodyear offers tire pressure monitoring systems like its tire-pressure monitoring system( TPMS) heavy duty( HD) and its EMTrack( enhanced mobility tracking) off-the-road( OTR) tire performance management system. Both provide real-time data to help maximize tire performance.
Goodyear TPMS HD provides critical alerts and insightdriven reports. The connected solution continuously captures tire pressure and temperature to detect under- or over-inflation, air leaks and potential mechanical issues. The data captured with the TPMS technology feeds into the Goodyear G-Predict technology, a suite of algorithms that provides actionable insights of potential incidents before they become an issue.
