Cooper Tire is showcasing three new premium Roadmaster commercial truck tyres – the RM872 long-haul trailer tyre, RM852 long-haul highway tyre, and RM256 regional drive tyre – at this week’s SEMA Show/Global Tire Expo.
The SmartWay-verified RM872(EM) premium long-haul trailer tyre delivers exceptional performance along with excellent fuel efficiency, according to Cooper, which added the tyre features unique shoulder grooves and micro-sipes that provide outstanding resistance to shoulder wear. Stone ejectors located in the bottom of the tread grooves protect against stone penetration to enhance casing integrity.
The RM852 long-haul drive tyre offers 3-D micro-gauge sipes, along with a solid shoulder design, for improved traction in challenging weather conditions, the tyremaker said. The tyre’s tread lugs are uniquely designed to resist squirm and promote even wear, while its deep 30/32nd tread depth, along with premium tread compounding, provide exceptional mileage to help lower fleet operating expenses.
The SmartWay-verified RM256 regional drive tyre features a tread compound specifically formulated for fuel efficiency, while also providing the traction a regional drive tyre requires. Cooper added the robust tie-bars in the shoulder area help fight irregular wear and promote extended treadwear. The RM256 is offered with Roadmaster’s industry-leading casing warranty.
