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.

...Grip is really good, especially in the rain...

Cooper Pro Control tires are better than I expected . I’m a Michelin Guy through and through , but these Coopers are almost as good as Michelin’s Defender , and they cost a lot less . Grip is really good, especially in the rain . I don’t drive my F150 2WD in the snow , sooo … The only thing I don’t like about the Coopers is , Directional Stability . They kinda wander a bit . But, that’s not a big deal to me , especially since they are sooo good in the corners and under braking . I’m impressed , I really am . I wasn’t expecting them to be as good as they are , especially for the price .

...Softens bumps and road noise, wet road traction and no hydroplaning, cornering sidewall strength, great looks, and overall strength and stability...

Best tire I have ever owned! I am 57 and have never had a tire meet all my expectations as these. Softens bumps and road noise, wet road traction and no hydroplaning, cornering sidewall strength, great looks, and overall strength and stability. Awesome tire! Will buy again and recommend to friends and family.

...Excellent wet traction in rural N Florida...

Replaced the OEM Continentals. We had to replace 6 Contis in less than 18 months. They are NOT on their recall list. All but one failed @ highway speed, de-lamination just under the inner liner. Coppers are outstanding! Good in the mountains. Excellent wet traction in rural N Florida. I plan to replace with same when required.

...good cornering, and positive braking on wet and dry pavement.

Only have about 1,000 miles on them, but so far seems a little louder and a bit firmer riding than my General Grabber HTS60s, but nice on the highway, good cornering, and positive braking on wet and dry pavement.

...They provide much more confidence in pushing the CX-9 harder in turns and driving in a touring style on back roads. Their dry performance was a definite improvement over the OEM tires...

I am driving my first SUV, prior cars have been mostly sports sedans. I bought the Mazda CX-9 because of the reviews that stated it was a SUV that drove with very sporty characteristics. The OEM Bridgestone Ecopia tires were disappointing, not the traction or handling I was looking for. I have about 500 miles on the new Cooper Procontrol tires and am very happy with them. They provide much more confidence in pushing the CX-9 harder in turns and driving in a touring style on back roads. Their dry performance was a definite improvement over the OEM tires. The real reason I was prompted to get back to Tirerack and provide this review was the performance the tires exhibited in the rain over the past couple of days. On both highway and side road driving in slick wind and rainy conditions. these tires excelled! I like to be an informed shopper when it comes to tires, but to be honest, I typically presume the tires are going to work, and I don't really pay attention to them once they are on my car. But the huge increase in my Mazda's performance in these wet conditions jumped out at me. The car maintained excellent traction and maneuverability while driving in the wind and rain and convinced me I had made an outstanding choice with the Coopers! I am very satisfied, and the fact that the tires are made in the USA doesn't hurt either!

...Smooth, quiet & very comfortable...

TIRES are great. Smooth, quiet & very comfortable. installed in early June so just about 3 months with 4000 miles on them. No snow yet, but great in the heavy summer rain storms. I did have to bring them back to the shop to be re-balanced because there was excessive vibration at 60 MPH and above. Was not happy about that, much, much better now. I will have them rotated at 6500 miles & then see if the balancing is ok or needs to be done again. I have had many sets of cooper tires on my cars in the past, never had any issues with any of them.
