The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company completed its acquisition of Cooper Tire & Rubber Company, finalizing the merger agreement made public on February 22.
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. has entered into an agreement to acquire Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. in a deal valued at about $2.8 billion. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021.
With a volatile market impacted by COVID-19, growth in last-mile delivery, and changing needs for alternative-fuel trucks, the truck tire industry is looking forward to a positive future.
Cooper Tire recently introduced the Roadmaster RM258 WD, which features an open shoulder design with four rows of lugs and is Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certified.
The Roadmaster RM257 drive and Roadmaster RM170+ steer, both 19.5-inch tires, will soon be available for order through Roadmaster dealers.
Cooper Tire & Rubber Company noted that its tire manufacturing plants in the United States and Mexico will remain closed for at least another two weeks.
Cooper Tire has expanded its Work Series line of tires for Class 4-6 trucks and vans with three new tires, available in June.
One thing is consistent when it comes to truck tire maintenance: tire inflation has been, and always will be, a top concern for fleets. What can you do to keep your tire pressure optimal for your needs?
Cooper Tire is offering the Roadmaster RM832 EM steer tire, a SmartWay verified tire designed for fuel efficiency and durability.
