AKRON, Ohio — The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is announcing the new Cooper WORK Series Regional Haul All-position (RHA) 2 tire for super-regional and regional all-position commercial vehicle applications.
“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.”

According to a company press release, the tire is designed for super-regional and Less-than-Truckload (LTL) fleets. Features include:
- BALANCED LONG-HAUL AND REGIONAL TREAD COMPOUND. Providing 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. Helps minimize stone retention and protect the casing from stone penetration for retreadability.
