Cooper Discoverer True North

OVERVIEW

The Cooper Discoverer True North is a touring winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.

The tire ensures first-rate winter weather traction. Its high silica-infused compound and the asymmetric tread design increase the winter weather, ice and snow road gripping ability. The high-siping density firmly grips the ice- and snow-covered road surface to ensure an exceptional performance. The tread design's wide circumferential grooves and angled lateral notches actively disperse water and slush from below the tire's footprint and prevent hydroplaning when driving through standing water. The increased traction earned this tire its three mountain peak and snowflake symbol, indicating its exceptional performance in the most severe winter conditions.

The model's tread design features wider tread blocks that maintain the tire's road contact at all times. They improve the steering responsiveness and driving stability in all winter weather and guarantee a secure driving experience. In this manner, the tire's structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it and its steering responsiveness to the driver's instructions becomes faster and more accurate. The large outer shoulder tread blocks boost the cornering capability by increasing the number of biting edges while the tires are in motion. This enhances the cornering ability and power and promote a secure driving experience.

The tire's internal structure features a polyester casing and twin steel belts that optimize the tire's shape and prevent it from deforming under the driving pressure. The twin steel belts upgrade the tire's durability against the extreme winter weather driving pressure affecting it during the drive. The polyester casing improves the tire's durability and enables the tire to closely follow the road surface. In this manner, the model lowers the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin as the polyester casing absorbs the shock of driving, resulting in a comfortable performance.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
