Cooper’s Roadmaster RM180+(EM) gets new load range

May 10, 2017

Cooper’s Roadmaster RM180+(EM) SmartWay-verified steer tire line now is available in load range H for sizes 11R22.5 and 11R24.5 to help accommodate increasingly heavier steer axles.

Suited for long-haul applications, the tire features a highway tread pattern and optimized footprint to help promote even wear and, when combined with its high-tensile strength four-belt construction, deliver longer tread mileage and added durability and retreadability while also facilitating low-rolling resistance for improved fuel economy.
