The ProControl is Cooper's Grand Touring All Season Tire designed for a wide-ranging variety of drivers behind the wheels of family sedans, sporty coupes, CUVs and SUVs looking for responsive handling that puts them firmly in control of their vehicle. Engineered to provide long treadlife and deliver confident traction in any kind of weather, even light snow.

ProControl Callouts

Cooper's ProControl is crafted with an asymmetric all-season tread pattern designed to adapt to a variety of road conditions. The tire profile is optimized to evenly distribute weight along the contact patch to serve drivers with smooth, even wear. Sipes built to widen during the tire's wear life contribute to the ProControl's longevity-focused design by aiming to preserve handling over time. Four wide circumferential grooves rush water to the outer channels, evacuating it from the contact patch to resist hydroplaning. The higher sipe density in the center ribs delivers the biting edges necessary to maintain control in low-friction environments like snow and ice.

The internal construction of the ProControl is fashioned around keeping drivers in command, with its polyester body ply overlaid with angled steel belts to carry the strength and stiffness necessary for crisp steering response. The high turn-up polyester casing provides additional sidewall durability. A nylon reinforcement cap ply is vulcanized to the other belts to support handling responsiveness and high-speed capability.

I use Cooper tires exclusively and have been for many years, (CS4, CS5) and now "Pro-Control," because they hold their grip whether the conditions are dry, wet or snowy!...

I use Cooper tires exclusively and have been for many years, (CS4, CS5) and now "Pro-Control," because they hold their grip whether the conditions are dry, wet or snowy! I've only had these "Pro-Control" tires for 10,000 miles and I have no issues with them! The ride seems to be a bit smoother than the last CS5 tires, steering is precise and responsive, cornering is controlled and predictable and recovery is effortless. New England winters are a challenge to any tire and these "Pro-Control" tires do better than expected, I've tested them in light and heavy snow and they always have traction, granted, my RAV4 is AWD, but they still grab and go much better than the original tires the RAV4 came with! Overall, this "Pro-Control" tire is an outstanding, dependable, ultra-all-weather tire that performs well in all conditions!

These tires do very well in the rain and snow. I bought these before there were many reviews on them other than the preliminary TireRack test results. The wet traction is definitely very good with these tires, but as reviews of snow performance did not yet exist, I was concerned about snow performance. After one winter with these on my car, I have to say that they have exceeded expectations. I have never had one of the highest end all-weather tires like the Michelin CrossClimate 2, but as for the tires that I have had, including some with the extreme weather mountain logo, these are noticeably a step up.

One thing worth mentioning is that the ride was a bit rough for the first 500 miles or so, but the Cooper website said that this is normal, and so I trusted them and continued to drive on them. They definitely got smoother over time.

Decent tires. Haven't noted any significant negative issues, so I am pleased. I wasn't hyper aware of my tires while driving, which is a good thing. The car handles quite well, maybe even better than with the more expensive tires that came preinstalled.

...Believe it or not I had no treadwear for the first 20k. I had a set of those and still had half the tread after driving 85k. These are above average tires!

2017 Ford Fusion SE : Asphalt driving on these tires are quiet but driving on concrete is another story. Real noisy! Not a very good ice driving tire at all but is decent driving in the rain. Believe it or not I had no treadwear for the first 20k. I would compare these to the old Firestone Affinity tires from the late 90's. I had a set of those and still had half the tread after driving 85k. These are above average tires!

...Tread-wear will be discussed later. I only got about 35,000 from the CS5's so I'm hoping to get much better tread-wear with the Pro Control's...

I have been a fan of Cooper Tires for many years and have used them exclusively. The new Pro Control tires take the previous CS5's to a new level. Ride quality seems to be a bit softer and smoother for the RAV4 SUV. Wet/dry traction is excellent and fairly equal, maybe a bit better when wet, as per usual Cooper characteristics. Have no information on heavy snow because my Massachusetts town removes the snow before it accumulates. Light snow exhibits very decent traction, better than the earlier CS5's. Cornering is positive and predictable. High speed stability is excellent! Overall handling is about the same as the previous CS5's. Tread-wear will be discussed later. I only got about 35,000 from the CS5's so I'm hoping to get much better tread-wear with the Pro Control's. I don't think there's abetter tire than the Pro Control and certainly not at this price!
