About This Tire

The Cooper TractionCommand 255/50R20 is an all-season tire designed for sedan, coupe, crossover, and SUV drivers who prioritize year-round versatility and reliable traction in varied weather conditions. Its asymmetric tread design and all-season compound focus on delivering consistent performance across dry, wet, and light snow conditions while meeting severe snow service requirements.

The TractionCommand features an asymmetric tread pattern with distinct inboard and outboard sections - the outboard area uses sweeping grooves that widen over time for enhanced 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, and Cooper's Widening Sipe technology helps maintain traction as the tire wears. The tire carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, indicating it meets industry standards for severe snow performance.

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