The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has announced the new Cooper Work Series RH2, regional-haul, all-position tire. 

The OE said the new tire is designed for super-regional and regional all-position commercial vehicle applications. 

The new Cooper Work Series RHA 2 is SmartWay verified. Goodyear said it 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."

Versatile Design

The Cooper Work Series RHA 2 is designed for super-regional, and less-than-Truckload (LTL) fleets and includes the following features:

• A balanced long-haul and regional tread compound, which provides fuel efficiency with long miles to removal.

• Scrub guard compound to help resist wear in high-scrub, super-regional and regional applications.

• Five-rib tread with wide footprint and solid shoulder, which promotes even wear and long miles to removal.

• Stone protector ledges to help minimize stone retention and protect the casing from stone penetration for retreadability.

• Cooper Wear Square indicator, which allows for quick approximation of remaining tread life for each tire.

The new Cooper Work Series RHA 2 is the latest addition to the Cooper line up of commercial truck tires.
