AKRON, Ohio, July 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Goodyear Tire
& Rubber Company (NASDAQ: GT) announces a new size, 40.00R57,
to the Goodyear RH-4A+ tire lineup. With the initial launch last
fall, the RH-4A+ is engineered to deliver a lower operating cost
per hour and higher productivity in hard rock underfoot
conditions.
The Goodyear RH-4A+, 40.00R57 tire provides the following
benefits and features:
- Increased hours to removal with its high net-to-gross tread
pattern and extra-deep E-4+ tread depth
- Cool operating temperatures from the tread's centerline
blading, shoulder lug pockets, and shoulder lug side notches
"The 40.00R57 has become Goodyear's dominant fitment on 200-ton
trucks, such as the Caterpillar 789. With a higher TKPH and load
carrying capacity, the new Goodyear RH-4A+ tire size is a great
option for customers who have converted their 789 fleets to this
larger tire," said Eric Matson,
Global OTR Field Engineering Manager.
The Goodyear RH-4A+ is now available in sizes 40.00R57,
59/80R63, 46/90R57 and 27.00R49 through Goodyear's global network
of authorized OTR dealers. It is available in customized
casing constructions and is made with Goodyear's proprietary tread
compounds.
The Goodyear RH-4A+ is part of Goodyear's Total Mobility
platform of trusted products, reliable services and tire management
solutions – all delivered by a global network.
