commercial carrier journal | january 2016 53 Regional tire Goodyear's Fuel Max RSA Regional Tire incorporates cool-running compounds to help lower rolling resistance and improve fuel efficiency. A tri-layer compound is designed to enhance mileage, rolling resistance and curb impact resistance, while a nonevolving tread helps maintain traction. Super-tensile steel belts are engineered to add stability and enhance toughness, while the company's Unisteel casing construction helps facilitate added retreadability. A computer-optimized tread design and footprint is combined with the company's IntelliMax Rib Technology, which provides a stiffer tread area and helps provide lower rolling resistance and even wear. The tire cur - rently is available in size 11R22.5, Load Range G, with more sizes planned.
