FINDLAY, OH… Cooper Tire & Rubber Company announced that it has added to its Roadmaster commercial truck tire line with the introduction of the RM852(EM), a long haul drive tire that is SmartWay verified.

The RM852(EM) has a unique tread compound and 30/32nds of tread to provide long lasting mileage and features a solid shoulder design to offer improved traction in challenging weather. The tire also features 3D Micro-Gauge™ siping, with full depth and variable sipe density to help maintain wet traction and stability.
