Cooper Tire adds new sizes to Roadmaster RM272 tire line

cooper-Roadmaster-RM272

Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. has added three new sizes to its Roadmaster RM272 tire line, which is made for drop deck and spread axle trailers. The tire is now available in sizes 295/75R22.5 LR H, 11R22.5 LR H and 11R24.5 LR H.

According to Cooper Tire, the RM272 features a premium, high-scrub tread compound that provides improved tread wear and solid, long-lasting protection against cutting and chipping in spread axle trailer applications. The stone ejector ribs in the tire’s grooves help preserve the casing for retreading, and the rounded shoulder design helps minimize the effect of high lateral forces on the tire, the company said.

“The RM272 is one tough tire. It’s backed by a strong six-year, two-retread warranty,” said Gary Schroeder, executive director of Cooper’s truck and bus tire business. “Adding additional sizes to this popular line allows us to meet our customers’ needs with a quality Roadmaster product.”
