Cooper Tires: Over a Century of American-Engineered Performance

Cooper Tire & Rubber Company traces its roots to 1914 in Akron, Ohio, and has spent more than a century earning a reputation for building dependable, innovative tires. Cooper tires are designed for a remarkably broad range of vehicles and driving conditions — from daily passenger car commuters to truck and SUV adventurers who demand performance both on and off the pavement. Today, operating under the umbrella of Goodyear, Cooper continues to develop and sell tires under its own distinct brand identity, now with access to expanded research and development resources.

Standout Product Lines Built for Every Driver

One of Cooper’s most celebrated lineups is the Discoverer series, a family of tires built around versatility for trucks and SUVs. The Discoverer AT3 line — including the AT3 4S, AT3 LT, and AT3 XLT — is engineered with Adaptive-Traction Technology™ and Cooper’s Snow Groove design, earning the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) severe snow designation for year-round reliability. The AT3 LT offers a best-in-class 60,000-mile warranty and features Whisper Grooves™ to reduce road noise throughout the tire’s life, along with Stone Ejection Ledges to protect against trail debris. The newest addition to the family, the Discoverer Stronghold AT, builds on that legacy with 3D sipe technology in the shoulders for cornering stability and wide open grooves for confident traction on dirt, gravel, and soft surfaces — also carrying the 3PMSF designation.

For passenger car and everyday drivers, the Evolution series simplifies the tire-buying decision. The Evolution Tour, Evolution H/T, and Evolution Winter each address specific driving needs. The Evolution H/T is built with StabilEdge™ technology and 3D Micro-Gauge™ siping for enhanced grip during acceleration, braking, and cornering, and backs it all with a 60,000-mile warranty. The Evolution Winter is purpose-built for cold-weather driving, using Snow Groove Technology with a silica tread compound and Snow Trapping Technology to lock snow-on-snow contact for improved grip on hard pack and black ice — and it’s available in 48 sizes for passenger cars, SUVs, and crossovers.

Performance enthusiasts will find the Zeon series — including the Zeon RS3 — designed with an asymmetric tread pattern and 3D Micro-Gauge siping that maintains strong wet traction while handling dry cornering loads at the outer shoulder. The CS5 Touring rounds out the lineup for comfort-focused drivers, combining StabilEdge™ technology for cornering stability with an advanced silica compound for wet grip and a quiet highway ride.
