The Cooper Evolution Winter is a studdable winter tire engineered for passenger cars, crossovers, SUVs, and minivans that face challenging winter conditions. Designed with an aggressive directional tread pattern, this tire delivers superior traction and control on snow-covered and icy roads, earning the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certification for severe snow service performance.

Advanced Winter Technology:

• Patented Snow-Groove Technology: Traps snow in the tread grooves to enhance grip through superior snow-on-snow traction versus snow-on-rubber contact
• Winter Compound Formula: Silica-enhanced compound stays flexible below 45°F while maintaining durability for multiple winter seasons of use
• Multi-Angled Corrugated Siping: High-density sipes with multiple biting edges provide exceptional grip during acceleration, braking, and cornering on ice and snow
• Sawtooth Center Rib: Increases rubber contact with the road surface for enhanced stability, handling, and control in all winter weather conditions
• Studdable Design: Strategically placed stud pin holes allow for optional stud installation (where permitted) for extreme traction on ice
