AKRON, Ohio, July 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (NASDAQ: GT) announces a new size, 40.00R57, to the Goodyear RH-4A+ tire lineup.

The Goodyear RH-4A+, 40.00R57 tire provides the following benefits and features:

• Increased hours to removal with its high net-to-gross tread pattern and extra-deep E-4+ tread depth

"The 40.00R57 has become Goodyear's dominant fitment on 200-ton trucks, such as the Caterpillar 789.
