About This Tire

The Cooper ProControl 235/50R18 is a grand touring all-season tire, designed for family sedan, coupe, CUV and SUV drivers who prioritize responsive handling and long-term durability in everyday driving. Its asymmetric tread design and compound focus on balanced traction across weather conditions and even wear distribution for extended treadlife.

The ProControl features four wide circumferential grooves for water evacuation and hydroplaning resistance, plus sipes that widen as the tire wears to maintain handling performance over time. The tire's contact patch is optimized to distribute weight evenly, promoting smooth wear patterns, while higher sipe density in the center ribs provides biting edges for traction in low-friction conditions including light snow. Driver feedback points to strong wet and dry performance with good comfort levels and excellent longevity characteristics.

Compared to performance-oriented tires, it emphasizes comfort, stability, and long-term usability. Overall, it's a solid choice for family vehicles used primarily for daily driving and highway travel in varied weather conditions.
