The Cooper CS5 Grand Touring summer tire is designed for passenger cars and enjoys well-deserved popularity among car owners. This model is the best example of combining excellent driving parameters and high quality. When creating the tire, specialists took into account the wishes of consumers, and the main emphasis was placed on increased reliability and handling. To achieve this, a new tread design and a reinforced frame were used.
Asymmetric Tread Pattern
The company's specialists opted for a strict asymmetric tread design, which has balanced characteristics. The tread consists of five ribs. Part of them, located in the shoulder area, contains elongated blocks that protect the tire from damage and increase stability during maneuvers. The central row of blocks with a large number of notches increases directional stability and accelerates response to steering wheel turns. Four deep channels quickly remove water, minimizing splashplashing. Smaller channels increase stability when driving on wet coverage, when the road is covered with a small water film. Special lamellae reduce noise when driving, making the ride more comfortable. A special protective ring in the shoulder area protects the tread from curb damage. Three-dimensional wavy channels increase the stiffness of the tread, increasing the contact area.
Second-Generation Rubber Compound
The Cooper CS5 Grand Touring tire uses a second-generation rubber compound, which has an increased silica content. It has excellent elasticity, which has increased traction with any road surface, accelerated recovery properties, and reduced rolling resistance. The rubber compound also has excellent thermal stability, preventing possible damage from overheating. The manufacturer provides a guarantee of up to 130,000 kilometers of mileage for this model, which indicates increased wear-resistant properties of the tread. At the same time, the tire has a minimal braking distance and the best speed characteristics in its class.
Impact-Resistant Frame
To increase safety while driving, it is necessary to reduce possible damage. For this purpose, the tire uses a special impact-resistant frame, which withstands increased loads and impacts without problems. It is produced on new equipment using a nylon cord and special steel rings. The denser winding of the cord improved the strength of the frame and reduced its weight, which had a positive effect on speed characteristics.
This model is the best option for drivers who want to fully control the vehicle.
