Cooper 4WD Tyres and 7 reasons why you should
choose them
 Four
Wheel Drive enthusiast and Australia's distributor of Cooper 4WD Tyres,
Terry Smith, explains why Cooper is America's most trusted 4x4 tyre. He
summarises this into seven reasons that are important benefits for the 4WD
tyre buyer.
- Cooper 4WD tyres have deeper treads, up to 30% more than some
brands, which means you get more tyre for your money, more kilometres,
more grip, more puncture resistance.
- Cooper 4WD tyres have deeper tread patterns. Today many manufacturers
are lowering tread pattern depths. A cooper tyres lateral tread grooves
are 67% deeper compared to most original equipment tyres. This is possible
because of wider and stronger steel belts under the tread.
- Cooper 4WD tyres stand up straighter. Most non-American brands
of 4x4 tyres have a round or 'belly' shape in the sidewalls. Cooper,
by design, stands up straighter to deflect objects.
- Cooper 4WD tyres have see through treads, meaning the latest
tread designs have open straight grooves for wet grip and self-cleaning
- Cooper tread designs are all the most current designs.
- Cooper 4WD tyres have round edge treads, not square. The current
trend in 4WD tyre design is self-cleaning patterns with round shoulders,
V shaped tread grooves and deeper tread patterns, Square edges track
on the road, causing irregular shoulder wear.
- Cooper are aftermarket producers. In tyre manufacturing there
are two types, original equipment suppliers, and after market suppliers.
Cooper produce exclusively for the aftermarket so they don't compromise
on quality or performance to meet a price or the criteria of a vehicle
manufacturer, which means you get more for your money.
- Cooper 4WD tyres have thicker inner liners. The most important
characteristic of a tyre is its ability to hold air. Cooper uses the
best quality inner liner ( Halobutyl ) as well as a thicker liner to
give almost 100% air retention, where others vary the quality and thickness
of the compound to reduce cost, causing irregular wear and de-lamination
of the tyre.
