Cooper Introduces CTS Touring Tyre

Cooper Tire has added a new product to the US premium luxury SUV touring tyre segment. Called the CTS, the new tyre is, says Cooper, designed to deliver year-round performance with higher levels of wet traction and ride comfort.

The tread is of a five rib design intended for all season traction, and Cooper comments that the wide centre elements boost responsiveness and highway stability, while the wide circumferential grooves help resist hydroplaning. The tyre also incorporates Cooper’s Response-Technology (R-Tech) construction, which employs several design elements intended to work in concert, providing enhanced tyre performance. The sidewall design, says Cooper, is computer optimised, and the extended bead filler offers improved handling response and cornering ability. The new coupled silica-based compound helps provide traction in wet conditions while also maximising treadwear.

The CTS is backed by a 70,000 mile limited treadwear warranty and includes a UTQG rating of 700 A B. It is available in 16- to 18-inch sizes and a 20-inch size, with outline white letter or black sidewall options.
