TROY, Mich., March 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- MOTOR Information Systems has strengthened its automotive data offering with the launch of MOTOR TireTech, a new data solution delivering the most complete, accurate and up-to-date OEM tire specifications for North American passenger cars, light duty trucks and vans.

"The tire business has become increasingly more complicated," says Peter Largen, Executive Vice President, Operations at MOTOR. "With the OEMs increasing tires' size counts, specifying varying design attributes and embracing technology innovations such as run-flat tires, our customers' tire data needs have skyrocketed."

MOTOR TireTech offers the most comprehensive tire coverage, with 94,000+ data points for model years 1982–present, as well as an additional 21,000+ data points dating back as far as 1942. These data points support over 2,400 unique OEM tire size, load index and speed rating combinations. Moreover, MOTOR will add new tire sizes to MOTOR TireTech as soon as new vehicles hit the market, and data updates will be performed monthly.

"With its data breadth and accuracy, MOTOR TireTech is a modern solution for businesses looking to create new revenue streams from tire sales and service," says Jeff Nosek, Executive Vice President, Revenue at MOTOR. "Also, having accurate data can reduce the risk of costly service mishaps."
