Goodyear introduces new Cooper WORK Series RHA 2 tire for regional commercial vehicles

Feb. 24, 2025
The new Cooper WORK Series RHA 2 is SmartWay verified and offers long miles to removal and even-wear for the growing super-regional commercial vehicle category.

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company recently announced the new Cooper WORK Series Regional Haul All-position 2 tire for super-regional and regional all-position commercial vehicle applications. The new Cooper WORK Series RHA 2 is SmartWay verified and offers long miles to removal and even wear for the growing super-regional commercial vehicle category.

"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," Joe Burke, VP, North America Commercial at Goodyear, said. "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 Cooper WORK Series RHA 2 is designed for super-regional and less-than-truckload fleets and includes the following features:

  • Balanced long-haul and regional tread compound provides 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 help minimize stone retention and protect the casing from stone penetration for retreadability.
  • Cooper wear square indicator allows for quick approximation of remaining tread life for each tire.
