Cooper Evolution Winter Reviews

Cooper Tires was founded in Akron, Ohio in 1914, and started by producing tire repair kits, tire cement, and patches. Now, Cooper is a full-range manufacturer of affordable tires, and received several accolades, and is a sponsor of different racing and sports events.

The Cooper Evolution Winter is a winter tire designed for use on passenger vehicles, such as coupes, sedans, CUVs, SUVs, and light trucks. In this Cooper Evolution Winter tire review, we will take a look at some of the features and benefits of the tire, its pros and cons, and SimpleTire’s views on the tire.

Features and Benefits

Winter tires are designed for use in temperatures consistently below 45 degrees, and feature a flexible rubber compound that can maintain its integrity in lower freezing temperatures. Moreover, these tires have optimized tread patterns that can maintain a strong and consistent grip in challenging conditions, such as ice, snow, wet, or slush.

The Cooper Evolution Winter, being a winter tire, is designed to drive through packed snow and features a studdable design that can provide maximum traction. Here are some noteworthy features and benefits of the tire.

• Better stability: The sawtooth center rib of the tire increased contact with the road for better control and stability.
• Increased snow traction: The Snow-Groove Technology helps trap snow for greater snow traction, handling, and stopping power.
• Studdable for increased traction: The strategically placed pin holes can be studded, where permitted, for additional traction and shorter braking distance.
• Increased grip: The multi-angled corrugated siping increased biting edges in every direction for increased grip when turning or driving straightaways.

The Cooper Evolution Winter is available in a variety of tire sizes ranging from 15 to 20 inches.
