Does this tire fit your vehicle?

Tires are designed specifically for different vehicles and wheel sizes. Tell us about your vehicle or the specific size you want so we can help find the right tires for you.

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.

These tires do very well in the rain and snow. The wet traction is definitely very good with these tires...

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.

...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.

...January 12th, 2024 produced wicked winter conditions and the Subaru Outback was solid as a rock, great grip and stopping power.

OEM tires were Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport AS, 45,000 miles driven. The first slick roads of Michigan in November 2023 showed a severe decline in grip/stopping performance, prompting a search for new tires before the weather turned snowy. Using Tire Rack’s testing information and customer reviews, I found the Made In USA Cooper ProControl. Tire Rack’s testing results and price, plus the Cooper Rebate made the decision easy. In wet and dry conditions, these tires feel very good and are not noisy. Tire Rack had not done snow conditions testing with the ProControls, but based on all other test results I inferred the tire would perform well in the snow - and they do! January 12th, 2024 produced wicked winter conditions and the Subaru Outback was solid as a rock, great grip and stopping power. I also put a new set of Cooper ProControl tires on my 2012 Toyota Avalon Limited - I recommend these tires and the Outstanding Customer Service from Tire Rack.

...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.

From what we've experienced so far with this tire, they ride much nicer and quieter than the Continentals and Yokohamas that were previously on the car. I'm not the person who primarily drives the car so I can't speak to the wet weather performance yet. We also haven't seen snow yet.
