Goodyear Says Expands RH-4A+ Lineup To Include 40.00r57

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (NASDAQ:GT) announces a new size, 40.00R57, to the Goodyear RH-4A+ tire lineup. With the initial launch last fall, the RH-4A+ is engineered to deliver a lower operating cost per hour and higher productivity in hard rock underfoot conditions.

The Goodyear RH-4A+, 40.00R57 tire provides the following benefits and features:

* Increased hours to removal with its high net-to-gross tread pattern and extra-deep E-4+ tread depth

* Cool operating temperatures from the tread's centerline blading, shoulder lug pockets, and shoulder lug side notches

"The 40.00R57 has become Goodyear's dominant fitment on 200-ton trucks, such as the Caterpillar 789. With a higher TKPH and load carrying capacity, the new Goodyear RH-4A+ tire size is a great option for customers who have converted their 789 fleets to this larger tire," said Eric Matson, Global OTR Field Engineering Manager.

The Goodyear RH-4A+ is now available in sizes 40.00R57, 59/80R63, 46/90R57 and 27.00R49 through Goodyear's global network of authorized OTR dealers. It is available in customized casing constructions and is made with Goodyear's proprietary tread compounds.

The Goodyear RH-4A+ is part of Goodyear's Total Mobility platform of trusted products, reliable services and tire management solutions -- all delivered by a global network.
