The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company introduced two additions to its portfolio of Goodyear RangeMax tires. The new tires are the RangeMax RSA ULT and the RangeMax RTD ULT. In a press release, Goodyear said the new tires are engineered for electric and gas- or diesel-powered regional haul work vehicles. RangeMax tires are a steer-drive combo, which Goodyear said offers traction, range and fuel economy for regional pickup and delivery vehicles, regardless of drivetrain.
A Low Rolling Resistance Design
In response to trends within the regional delivery segment, as well as cost-savings and sustainability goals for fleets, Goodyear said the all-position RangeMax RSA ULT and RangeMax RTD ULT tires help deliver range efficiency through low rolling resistance and long miles to removal.
“As the unique range, durability and versatility needs of regional pickup and delivery fleets evolve, we’re constantly listening to our fleet partners to design superior tires for every application,” said Rich Cottrell, senior director, Commercial Marketing, Goodyear North America. “Our latest RangeMax tires combine low rolling resistance with enhanced features like premium casings and long-lasting tread compounds to help increase vehicle uptime and protect fleets’ investment.”
