Goodyear Test Tire with Featured Air Maintenance Technology
A tire with Ban Air Maintenance Technology (AMT) feature are discovered and developed by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (Goodyear) will begin to be tested. Tests will be performed on a fleet of trucks USA as part of a research project the United States Department of Energys (DOE) Office of Vehicle Technology.

AMT allows the tire fixed in a certain position of the initial air pressure without using external pumps. This technology uses a peristaltic pump technology that will automatically keep the tire fixed at the desired air pressure. All components of the AMT with pumps are inside the tire itself.
AMT system for commercial tires are created to be used in a variety of operating conditions and can still be re retread (retread).
"This pilot phase will continue until we are confident that this technology can be applied in real market commercial tires," said Zekoski.
