A mobile dealer-locator application for Blackberry smart phones is available from Michelin Americas Truck Tires, the company announced Aug. 26. The service joins the tire maker’s OnCall emergency road service and online dealer and service locator.

The Blackberry app provides the location of the nearest Michelin truck tire or service provider, as well as other details about that location.
