Do Cooper Tires live up to their good reputation?
With Quality like the Cooper CS4's... It Appears So
At nearly 100 years old, Cooper Tires is certainly one of the big boys in the tire market. Specializing in car tires, light truck/SUV, and high performance
tires... this giant tire company easily made our list of best tires.
Online tire reviews have been very positive for these tires. The CS4's have been endorsed by racecar driver Al Unser, and very good tread wear (most owners are getting over 60K miles). Our tire ratings page has general rating information, however you can also visit Cooper Tires Ratings page for more specifics.
Like all tire companies, Cooper has it's own branded technologies for tire construction:
Ventless Technology |
|
| While shopping you may hear the claim that 'Ventless' tires provide clean and crisp appearance. We are not sure of the big benefit to this claim. Please let us know if this technology really blows you away... and how. | |
R-Tech Construction |
|
| R-Tech stands for "Response Technology". Nylon belts are positioned to provide minimal "flat spotting" and improve the even distribution of tread wear. Under increased heat, nylon strips contract and make the tire rigid... thus improving traction on dry roads. | |
4 Rib (T-Rated) and 5 Rib (H/V Rated) Tread Design |
|
The 4-Rib design has several aspects that are said to improve stability, traction, and tread wear. These are:
The 5-Rib has most of the 4-Rated aspects, but has an extra center rib for improved steering response in high speeds. |
|
Coupled Silica Tread Compound |
|
| This feature helps improve traction for wet weather driving. It has also been claimed that the Silica Tread improves the lifetime of tire tread as much as 12 percent. | |
When shopping at Discount Tire and Sears Tire Center (as well as many other tire stores and online tire sites) you will certainly see many models of Cooper Tires.
