The tire companies say they will focus on "accelerating the availability of the current PAX System," but they say they will also "continue to propose solutions" for those car companies "who wish to have run-flat capability on conventional wheels."
The main emphasis of the deal would be to promote the PAX System and its technical enhancements to the car companies, since they will be very attracted to the notion of not having to provide for a spare tire. As well as being less expensive, four tires instead of five allows for space and fuel economy gains.
Goodyear and Michelin have also said that, "In order to accelerate the widespread commercial availability of future run-flat systems to consumers," they have also entered into an aftermarket agreement.
So, the companies say they will "offer consumers easy access to interchangeable parts through a qualified, global network of trained service technicians, when maintenance and service are required. To ensure vigorous competition, both companies will continue to compete in the sale of run-flat systems and the provision of aftermarket services."
