The Cooper ProControl 205/50R17 is an all-season tire, designed for drivers of family sedans, sporty coupes, CUVs and SUVs who prioritize responsive handling and confident year-round traction in everyday driving. Its asymmetric tread design and compound focus on balanced wet and dry performance while maintaining long treadlife through optimized weight distribution.
The ProControl features four wide circumferential grooves for water evacuation and hydroplaning resistance, with higher sipe density in the center ribs for low-friction control.

Driver feedback points to strong wet and dry traction with good comfort levels and excellent treadwear characteristics in real-world use.
