Goodyear has announced the new Cooper Work Series regional haul all-position (RHA) 2 tire for super-regional and regional all-position commercial vehicle applications.
The new tire is SmartWay (a trademark of the US Environmental Protection Agency) verified and offers long miles to removal and even wear for the growing super-regional commercial vehicle category.
“The super-regional category is evolving with shorter routes between shipping hubs and a focus on improving efficiency by being closer to last-mile delivery fleets,” said Joe Burke, vice president, North America Commercial at Goodyear.
“The new Cooper Work Series RHA 2 helps address these needs by combining a long-haul tread with a scrub guard compound, creating a tough tire that can handle everything from long trips to urban traffic.”
The tire features a balance long-haul and regional tread compound; a scrub guard compound (to help resist wear in high-scrub, super-regional and regional applications); a five-rib tread with wide footprint and solid shoulder for even wear and high milage; stone protector ledges to minimize stone retention and protect the casing from penetration, aiding in suitability for retreading; and the Cooper Wear Square indicator, which enables quick approximation of remaining tread life for each tire.
The Cooper Work Series RHA 2 is the latest addition to the Cooper line- up of commercial truck tires, which also includes the Severe Series and Pro Series commercial truck tires.
