The GOOD DESIGN® award is one of the world’s most prestigious
and longest-standing design award programs recognizing the most
innovative and cutting-edge industrial, product and graphic designs
produced around the world. The award is based on criteria including
innovative design, new technologies, form, materials, construction,
concept, function, utility, energy efficiency and sensitivity to
the environment.
“Earning GOOD DESIGN® awards for products in the U.S. and China
is testament to Cooper’s global design excellence,” said Chuck
Yurkovich, the company’s Senior Vice President of Global Research
& Development. “This is the fifth consecutive year a Cooper
product has earned this prestigious honor, and we are proud to have
been selected once again for these great tires.”
Cooper’s Evolution H/T, which earlier in the year was named a
New Product Award winner at the Specialty Equipment Market
Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas, is an all-season highway tire
offering quality performance, superior handling and a comfortable
ride. Among the tire’s features is Cooper’s proprietary 3D
Micro-Gauge™ siping to help maintain wet traction and stability as
well as a silica compound to improve grip and handling in both wet
and dry conditions and to displace heat to keep the tire cooler.
The silica compound also helps shorten braking distance and improve
fuel efficiency. The Evolution H/T is quiet, with tread elements
uniquely positioned to minimize tire noise, and its tread profile
provides even wear and long tread life. The tire also boasts strong
hydroplane resistance due to wide water channels that efficiently
evacuate water from the tread area. The Evolution H/T offers a
60,000-mile warranty and is available in 28 popular sizes.
The Mastercraft Courser Sport 100 offers ultra-high performance
capability for sport utility vehicles. The tire is optimized for
excellent highway handling, superior stability and wet grip. With
an asymmetric tread design and wide-line shoulders, the Courser
Sport 100 offers precise handling at high speeds. The tire has
unique four-wide circumferential groves that provide biting grip to
the road to reduce hydroplaning and improve wet traction. The
Courser Sport 100 is engineered to offer a quiet ride, comfortable
ride. The tire is available in 12 sizes.
