About This Tire

The Cooper TractionCommand 205/65R16 is an all-season tire designed for sedan, coupe, crossover, and SUV drivers who prioritize year-round versatility and dependable traction in varied weather conditions. Its asymmetric tread design and all-season compound focus on consistent performance across dry, wet, and light snow conditions, earning the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol for severe snow service capability.

The tire features an asymmetric tread pattern with the outboard section incorporating sweeping grooves that widen over time to enhance water and slush evacuation, while the inboard section maximizes rubber-to-road contact for improved steering response. Four circumferential grooves and large lateral notches work together to evacuate water from the contact patch, reducing hydroplaning risk. Cooper's Widening Sipe technology helps maintain traction as the tire wears. With limited driver feedback available from just 3 evaluations, the tire's real-world performance characteristics are still being established.

Compared to performance-oriented tires, it emphasizes comfort, stability, and long-term usability across multiple seasons. Overall, it's a solid choice for drivers of sedans, crossovers, and SUVs used primarily for daily driving in regions with varied weather conditions including light snow.
