Goodyear announced a new Cooper Work Series tire on Thursday.
The Cooper Work Series Regional Haul All-position (RHA) 2 tire is designed for super-regional and regional all-position commercial vehicle applications. It is SmartWay verified and offers long miles to removal and even wear, the company says.

"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," says Joe Burke, vice president of 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 tire features a five-rib tread with a wide footprint and solid shoulder to promote even wear and long times to removal, stone protector ledges to help minimize stone retention and protect the casing from stone penetration, and a Cooper wear square indicator for quick approximation of remaining read life for each tire.
