Strick Deepens Cooper Tires Partnership
Strick Trailers announced all of its trailers will be equipped with Cooper Tires PRO Series LHT Trailer tire beginning in 2021. The tire is part of Cooper’s line of fuel-efficient SmartWay verified tires and meets the Environmental Protection Agency’s greenhouse gas emissions requirements.
The arrangement is a continuation of Strick’s partnership with Cooper Tires as its standard, premium tire supplier.
Along with the V-shaped tread pattern design to help protect against irregular wear, the PRO Series LHT Trailer tire features a unique Wear Square on the tire’s shoulder ribs to indicate when the tire should be pulled for retreading, according to Monroe, Ind.-based Strick.
“Additionally, this tire is backed by an industry-leading, seven-year, two-retread warranty with full replacement value for the first 50% of tread life, another value-added benefit we are happy to pass on to the customer,” Rod Farlow, vice president of materials at Strick Trailers, said in a release. — Transport Topics
