Wabash approves Cooper Roadmaster tyres as OE fitment

North American semi trailer manufacturer Wabash National Corporation has approved Cooper Tire & Rubber’s Mastercraft-brand Roadmaster RM871(EM) as an original equipment option on all of its dry freight and refrigerated van models as well as on its Transcraft and Benson brand platform trailers.

“Cooper Roadmaster tyres were previously specified by some of Wabash National’s largest customers,” said Roadmaster national truck tyre sales manager Bill Hoban. “Now, all of Wabash National’s customers have the option to pick SmartWay-verified Roadmaster RM871(EM) tyres when specifying the components they want on their new semi trailers. We are pleased to be selected by Wabash National and look forward to meeting the needs of their customers.”

According to Sean Kenney, director of sales for Wabash National, “Cooper Roadmaster tyres offer another beneficial tyre option for our customers. Its design and compounding provide low rolling resistance and improved fuel efficiency. As well, the tyre’s special groove edge provides enhanced traction in wet road conditions.”
