GREENVILLE, S.C. (April 2, 2009)—The Yellowstone Park Foundation has named Michelin North America Inc. its official tire.
The tire naming is part of an environmental stewardship initiative to provide environmentally friendly tires to the Yellowstone National Park vehicle fleet, Michelin said. The company will provide the park fleet of about 1,500 wheeled vehicles with energy-saving tires to improve fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions by 8-10 percent.
Michelin said it also will offer programs for Yellowstone employees to demonstrate how to improve fuel efficiency and maximize tire life through proper tire inflation.
