Goodyear reports the features and benefits of the Cooper Work Series RHT 2 include:

  • Low rolling resistance and a high scrub tread compound that balances performance, improves wear, helps resist tearing, and promotes fuel efficiency.

  • Four heavy-duty, full-width steel belt construction that promotes durability in spread axle applications while also preserving the casing for retread ability.

  • Advanced tread features and a shoulder profile that helps minimize tearing and chunking in high scrub applications.

  • Wear Square visual indicator that helps determine the remaining tread on the tire and can assist in detecting wheel alignment issues with the vehicle.

“Dependability and durability are top-of-mind for fleet operators when choosing a tire that meets the unique demands of regional trailer tire applications,” said Tom Lippello, senior director of commercial marketing, Goodyear North America. “Fleets can feel confident they can navigate tough roads while delivering efficiency for their business with this new Work Series trailer tire offering.”
