Available now, the new trailer tire is SmartWay verified and designed to help fleet owners meet regional- haul demands in both tandem and spread axle trailer applications, the company said. The new Cooper Work Series RHT 2 provides durability that helps deliver performance and efficiency, regardless of the type of route required on the job.
“Dependability and durability are top of mind for fleet operators when choosing a tire that meets the unique demands of regional trailer tire applications,” Tom Lippello, senior director of commercial marketing for Goodyear North America, said in a news release. “Fleets can feel confident they can navigate tough roads while delivering efficiency for their business with this new Work Series trailer tire offering.”
The Cooper Work Series RHT 2 features advanced technology for even treadwear and high scrub resistance to deliver the right mix of efficiency and durability for regional-haul trailer tire applications, Goodyear maintained.
Cooper Work Series RHT 2: Available in eight sizes, the new tire is built for regional-haul spread axle and tandem trailers and designed to help take on tough and tight turns. Features and benefits of the RHT 2 include:
Low rolling resistance and high scrub tread compound that balances performance, improves wear, helps resist tearing and promotes fuel efficiency
