The operational properties of the Cooper Discoverer HTS summer tire are tailored to the design features and characteristics of medium- and full-size passenger cars. It stands out for its good balance of operational properties, simultaneously demonstrating stable traction, reliable predictable behavior in complex conditions, smooth ride, and acoustic comfort.
The tread pattern features a directional asymmetric arrangement of elements. This design is characterized by an increased number of blocks, which form two functional areas. The elements located on the inside create very long transverse edges that improve the tread's performance during acceleration and braking. The outside of the tread features massive blocks and narrow ribs that rigidly connect them in groups of two elements each. This design enhances stability during straight-line driving, especially at high speeds, as well as the speed and accuracy of the tire's response to the driver's actions.
The tire is distinguished by its very high resistance to aquaplaning. This is largely due to the increased number of drainage grooves and their location. A significant portion of them is directed against the direction of motion, which allows the rotation of the wheel to be used for water drainage. Additionally, the tread is equipped with lamellas that further enhance traction on wet surfaces.
Key Features of Cooper Discoverer HTS
- The tread pattern with asymmetric block arrangement is effective in any conditions;
- Low risk of aquaplaning due to the large number of drainage grooves;
- A large number of lamellas provides a contact patch with sharp traction edges.
