Goodyear has launched a durable commercial tire called the Cooper® WORK Series™ RHA 2. The new addition to the brand's collection is tailored for super-regional and regional commercial vehicles.
Designed to meet the demands of evolving logistics networks, the Cooper® WORK Series™ RHA 2 tire combines the durability required for high-scrub environments with the fuel efficiency typically associated with long-haul tires. Its features include a balanced tread compound for extended mileage, a scrub guard compound to withstand wear, and a five-rib tread design for even wear distribution. Additionally, stone protector ledges help reduce stone retention, which enhances retreadability, while the Cooper Wear Square™ indicator simplifies tread life monitoring.
Goodyear's new durable commercial tire is particularly suited for fleets operating in super-regional and Less-than-Truckload sectors, which are increasingly focused on efficiency and proximity to last-mile delivery networks.
