Roadmaster represents a distinguished commercial tire brand owned and operated by Cooper Tires, launched in 2007 and manufactured at Cooper's facility in Rongcheng City, China. Following Cooper's acquisition by Goodyear in June 2021, Roadmaster has celebrated over 15 years as one of North America's leading truck tire manufacturers, establishing a market share of approximately 2.5 percent of the 20 million truck and bus tires shipped in the U.S. and Canada.
The brand specializes in tough, heavy-duty products engineered for the most demanding jobs and road conditions, serving medium and commercial sized trucks through comprehensive product lines for Long Haul, Regional, Mixed Service Usage, and Pick-up and Delivery services. Roadmaster tires are designed with various tread patterns for all axles of typical commercial trucks, incorporating advanced four-belt systems for improved durability and extended tread life.
Roadmaster's innovative tire technology includes cool running bases that lower rolling resistance for higher fuel efficiency, with multiple SmartWay-verified models including the RM180 long-haul steer tire launched in 2010 and the RM832+EM™ tire designed for steer position in long-haul and on-highway applications. Popular models include the RM185, RM170, and RM170+, each engineered for maximum performance in commercial vehicle applications.
The brand gained significant recognition in 2012 when trailer manufacturer Wabash National Corp. specified Roadmaster tires as original equipment for their 53-foot dry van trailers. Cooper's introduction of the "Cooper Fleet Service Network" in 2015 provides 24/7 emergency roadside tire replacement and repair services, demonstrating Roadmaster's commitment to comprehensive customer support and fleet management solutions across North American commercial transportation markets.
