Features and Benefits of Item #171053006

3D MICRO-GAUGETM Sipes
These sipes are Cooper's trademarked technology used to stabilize the tread elements and provide remarkably responsive handling. 3-D microgauge sipes provide stability and traction in both wet and dry conditions. They extend the full-depth of the wearable tread which also enhances the worn appearance and contributes to even treadwear throughout the life of the tire.

OPTIMIZED WATER CHANNELS
Wide water channels allow water to be evacuated away from the tread area reducing the potential for hydroplaning and improves handling in adverse weather conditions.

WIDE, LATERAL SHOULDER GROOVES
Speeds the ability of the Evolution H/T to move water away from the tire, reducing the potential for hydroplaning.

VENTLESS MOLDING
The use of ventless molds improves the overall appearance of the Cooper Evolution H/T.

OPTIMIZED TREAD PITCH SEQUENCE
The unique size and positioning of the tread elements minimizes the noise that could migrate into the vehicle cabin, improving overall ride comfort.

MODERN TREAD COMPOUND AND PROFILE
The silica tread compound and tread profile provide even wear and a long tread life.

OPTIMIZED TIRE PROFILE
Provides an even wear pattern and maintains optimal road contact pattern for improved traction in all conditions.

INCREASED BITING EDGES
Smaller tread elements and increased siping provide improved wet/winter handling performance.

STABILEDGEâ„¢ PERFORMANCE
Stabiledgeâ„¢ performance controls the movement of the intermediate ribs enhancing the overall soft handling and on-center feel of the tire which also provides additional dry traction stability for a crisper response.
