Are Cooper Evolution Tour Tires Good in Snow?

The detailed tread design and the all season compound enable the tire’s secure winter weather performance. The tire promotes exceptional winter traction, optimizing the ice and snow traction as well. In this manner, the tire guarantees great winter weather driving experience.

All Weather Performance

All season tires offer exceptional performing safety all year round. These models use their tread design and compound elements to boost their surface grip in versatile weather situations and to ensure their driving safety throughout the year. This guarantees their secure performing capability.

The Cooper Evolution Tour was designed with a detailed tread design and was molded from a durable all season compound. In other words, the symmetric ribbed tread design with the special 3D micro-gauge siping placement and the stronger compound elements optimize the tire’s dry, wet and winter weather traction. The reinforced compound optimizes the rubber materials and maintains their flexibility in different temperatures, while the detailed tread pattern provides additional biting edges in order to firmly grip the road surface throughout the year.

This tire model also effectively avoids hydroplaning. Hydroplaning happens when water or slush stuck on the road surface cuts off the tire’s surface contact. This causes the vehicle to skid as the tires do not provide the needed wet weather traction. The results can be dangerous, as the driver can easily lose control over the vehicle. You can  learn more about hydroplaning by reading a detailed blog post we made.

To avoid hydroplaning, the tire features circumferential grooves and an open shoulder tread design, which disperse water and slush from below the tire’s footprint. As a result, the tire enhances its wet weather performing safety significantly.

Longer-Lasting Usability

Touring tires tend to offer lengthened service lives. They are used for everyday driving due to their comfort levels and controllability, therefore they are not put through extreme weather and driving conditions, which can shorten their usability. However, Cooper takes another step in ensuring the driver’s satisfaction.

The Cooper Evolution Tour model comes with a 60-65,000 mile treadwear warranty. All sizes with H speed ratings are provided with a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty, while the T speed rated sizes come with a 65,000 mile treadwear warranty. This guarantees the tire’s longer lasting usability.

This elongated service life is achieved with the special StabilEdge Technology. The StabilEdge technology stabilized the tire’s footprint during the drive, which avoids tread flexing. Tread flexing can generate additional and excess pressure between the tire and the road, causing accelerated and irregular wear formations. By avoiding it, the tire manages to equally circulate the forces of acceleration, cornering and braking along the entire tread area, effectively combating premature and uneven wear.

Furthermore, the symmetric ribbed tread design and the durable tire compound work together to ensure a slower tread wear rate. The compound elements prevent heat build-up along the tread area during the tire’s performance, which allows the model to be wear-resistant. The symmetric ribbed pattern allows the tire to be cross-rotated. Rotating your tires from one axle to the other optimizes their tread wear manner and rate, resisting excess tread wear.

The slower and even wear along the tire’s surface greatly lengthens the model’s tread life.

Enhanced Controllability and Maneuvering

A tire’s handling is its most important performing capability. Without controllability, tires cannot provide secure performing capability during the drive. To ensure the driving safety throughout the performance, manufacturers optimize the tire’s handling with various technologies,

The Evolution Tour was designed with Cooper’s StabilEdge Technology. This manufacturing method stabilizes the tread elements while the tires are in motion, resisting tread flexing. In this manner, the tire is able to maintain a stronger surface grip. The better road contact significantly enhances the model’s steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver’s command, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the model. This combination guarantees the driver’s better control over the vehicle at all times.

The tread’s versatile elements also help to increase the maneuvering and the braking capabilities. The tread design’s closed shoulder pattern with the siping detail upgrades the cornering. These tread elements heighten the number of biting edges gripping the road surface during maneuvering, which stabilizes the tire’s performance. The tread design’s special 3D micro-gauge enhances the braking capacity. These tread elements generate friction between the tire and the road surface at the moment of braking, reducing the overall braking distance. As a result, the tire’s performing and maneuvering abilities are secured throughout the drive.

High Driving Comfort Levels

Touring tires provide exceptional comfort levels throughout their performance. They utilize versatile technologies and manufacturing designs to greatly minimize the road noise and vibrations levels. These ensure the passengers’ comfort levels throughout their performance.

The Cooper Evolution Tour increases passengers’ driving enjoyment by optimizing the stronger construction and the optimal tread design. The model features a polyester casing and a widened flat footprint. These elements of the internal structure work together to maintain the tire’s surface contact. The constant and close surface contact enables the tire to effectively absorb the shock of driving while the tires are in motion. This avoids road vibrations from being felt in the vehicle’s cabin.

On the other hand, the optimized tread design helps to lower the road and tread pattern noise heard during the drive. The tread pattern’s closed shoulder tread design and the optimized tread’s variable pitch siping placement manage to lower the number of soundwaves reaching the vehicle’s cabin. The closed shoulder pattern prevents airwaves from entering the footprint and coming into contact with the tread elements. The variable pitch siping sequence helps to negate the sound waves generated with a special sound-cancelling frequency. As a result, the tire promotes a quiet and comfortable driving experience.

This combination enables the tire to greatly improve the passengers’ driving enjoyment, as the road disturbances do not disturb the passengers during the vehicle’s performance.

Cooper Evolution Tour Buying Guide

Priority Tire knows that buying new tires can be stressful. To make the shopping experience easier for our customers, we have put together a short tire buying list. These three aspects are the most important to consider when looking for new tires.

Size

Tire size is the most important factor to consider when looking for new tires. Each vehicle needs a specific tire size in order to properly function and perform. To make sure you are getting the correct tires, we would suggest checking the size of your current tires, or the vehicle’s user manual if you still have the factory rims. If you wish to change your vehicle’s tires size, we would suggest checking with your mechanic or installer first.

Durability

All tires feature a load and speed rating on their sidewalls as well. These numbers and letters will let you know the speed and load durability of a specific tire. It is crucial that the tires are not placed under excess pressure which they cannot handle, as it will lead to tire failure. For a more detailed explanation you can read about load and speed ratings on the following link.

Intended Application

Different tire models are designed for various applications. From everyday city driving, to off-road traction, various models are needed to conquer the vehicle’s performing needs. You need to decide where and in what conditions you will use your vehicle most, and get tires for that purpose as most models for sale on the tire market are not good all-rounders.
