Cooper CS5 Ultra Touring 215/55R17 94V All-Season Tire

Its fully enhanced silica compound grips the road in dry, wet and winter conditions for excellent all-weather traction, while circumferential grooves in the tread pattern disperse water from below the footprint and resist hydroplaning to increase safety. Thanks to its excellent road-gripping ability, the tire is safer to use year-round. A tread wear square indicator is designed into the tread pattern: the square changes as the tire wears to show how much tread is left, so drivers can be confident in their vehicle's performance. The indicator also shows whether the vehicle's alignment is correct, because if the square on one shoulder wears out differently than the other, the alignment is off. This model marked the first time Cooper used its New Generation Coupled Silica Compound in one of its tires, which greatly improved wet traction and handling and gives a longer-lasting tread life. The silica-rich compound also slows the tread wear rate and ensures even wear across the tread area, and since irregular wear is prevented, the tire stays usable for longer, making it more cost-efficient. It also offers enhanced road grip in all weather conditions, which improves handling and maneuverability. 3D Micro-Gauges stabilize the tread area, and because the tread blocks are interconnected, the tire has a much larger footprint and maximized road-to-tire contact, improving the handling and stability of the drive. The stabilized tread blocks add stiffness, and since the tread doesn't shift, the tire delivers better performance, greater cornering ability and power, and increased steering responsiveness. Stabiledge Technology places bumpers in the tread pattern that keep the grooves open to stabilize the tread elements, offering a better road feel, boosting all-weather traction and improving stability and handling. Quick and precise in its response, the tire provides excellent control, so drivers can steer confidently in changing road conditions. The CS5 Ultra Touring is also built with R-Tech sidewalls, computer designed with extended bead fillers and performance compounding, an internal structure that helps absorb road vibrations for a safer and more comfortable driving experience.
