Fitment Group, a leading provider of tire and wheel fitment data and business intelligence solutions, has launched a new, web-based tire price trend dashboard.

The dashboard is available now “at no cost to industry professionals and interested users,” according to Fitment Group officials.

“This dynamic platform is designed to deliver insights into retail tire pricing trends across the United States, offering a powerful data driven resource during a time of rapid market change.

“The dashboard provides users with data-driven views of tire price fluctuations over four key time intervals: the past 12 months, six months, three months, and one month. Drawing from a curated subset of more than 11 million unique online advertised price points, the platform updates weekly to ensure timely and accurate tracking.

“Users can explore pricing trends by popular tire sizes, leading brands, and tiered segments, allowing for easy comparative analysis and insights.

To further enhance usability and interpretation, Fitment Group has integrated artificial intelligence-generated summaries into the platform. “These summaries provide high-level overviews and key takeaways within the three main segmentation categories, helping users quickly interpret complex data patterns.”

“Fitment Group has been monitoring and analyzing retail tire prices for over a decade,” says J.P. Brooks, chief revenue officer at Fitment Group, which is based in Duluth, Minn.. “In light of current economic uncertainties, we wanted to give back to the industry by offering a resource that helps businesses stay informed and responsive to shifting market dynamics.”

Interested users can register to access the new dashboard via a provided link and will receive a follow-up email to confirm their account. Once confirmed, users can set their password, bookmark the login page and gain continuous, on-demand access to the tool.

The retail tire landscape is evolving quickly,” says Brooks. “We’re already observing price increases across various segments. I’m incredibly proud of our team for bringing this innovative tool to life in such a short time frame. Their hard work and expertise are now available for the benefit of the entire tire industry.”
