The Cooper® WORK Series™ RHA 2 tire combines the fuel
efficiency of a long-haul tire with the toughness of a high-scrub
regional tire for super-regional and regional all-position
commercial applications
AKRON,
Ohio, Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today,
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (NASDAQ: GT) 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 Cooper WORK Series RHA 2 is SmartWay*
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 Cooper WORK Series RHA 2 is designed for
super-regional and Less-than-Truckload (LTL) fleets and includes
the following features:
- BALANCED LONG-HAUL AND REGIONAL TREAD COMPOUND
provides fuel efficiency with long miles to removal.
- SCRUB GUARD COMPOUND helps resist wear in
high-scrub, super-regional and regional applications.
- FIVE-RIB TREAD WITH WIDE FOOTPRINT AND SOLID
SHOULDER promotes even wear and long miles to
removal.
- STONE PROTECTOR LEDGES help minimize stone
retention and protect the casing from stone penetration for
retreadability.
- COOPER WEAR SQUARE™ indicator 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. The Cooper WORK
Series, SEVERE Series and PRO Series commercial truck tires deliver
the quality and value expected from the Cooper brand by focusing on
total cost of ownership. For more information on the entire
