For many decades, Cooper has been one of the most dependable and trusted names in the tire business, so it’s no surprise that they’d be out front when it comes to tires for modern SUVs and crossovers. The Endeavor Plus was developed from Cooper’s Evolution H/T, with a robust design and year-round performance that will bring out the best in your vehicle. The Endeavor Plus is available in a wide range of sizes for all kinds of crossover and SUV fitments. Building on the success of the Evolution H/T, Cooper emphasized what was already good about that tire, adjusting internal construction for better weight distribution and high-speed stability, modifying the tread formulation and adding another 5000 miles to the manufacturer’s treadwear warranty.

But don’t take our word for it that the Endeavor Plus is a great all-around highway tire for SUVs and crossovers. Let’s go in for a closer look with this Cooper Endeavor Plus review.

Features and Benefits

Here are just a few of the features of the Cooper Endeavor Plus that pay off with great performance and value for drivers:

• The Evolution H/T’s carbon black-rich tread compound was tweaked for a silica-enhanced formulation that delivers longer wear and improved wet-weather traction
• All-season tread with circumferential grooves, angled grooves and lateral grooves to channel water away from the tire’s contact patch and resist hydroplaning in wet weather
• Solid center rib boosts steering response and highway-speed stability for great road manners
• Tread pitch is computer tuned for low road noise
• Backed by a 65,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life
• 2-ply polyester casing with full width steel belts and jointless nylon cap ply for a durable tire
• Ride quality is forgiving, with most vibrations and irregularities soaked up by the tire
• WearSquare indicator lets driver easily monitor tread wear and tread depth

Pros and Cons

So, is this the right highway tire for your ride and budget? Before you decide, let’s take a look at the tire’s strengths and weaknesses:

PROS:

CONS:

SimpleTire’s view on Cooper Endeavor Plus tires

In a field that’s overcrowded with all-season tires for SUVs, the Cooper Endeavor Plus is a tire that delivers value and performance that far outweighs its price point. The ride quality and noise levels of Cooper Endeavor Plus are on par with much more expensive premium tires, and drivers find that handling and cornering on offramps or winding roads are predictable and responsive. Braking in wet weather is just as superb, and the Cooper Endeavor Plus’s silica-rich tread formulation is a great asset for wet-weather traction as well as wear properties. Speaking of wear, the 65,000 mile warranty is a real plus for this tire as well.

As for the cons listed above – it’s not surprising that the Cooper Endeavor Plus wouldn’t be a great choice for heavier snow or off-road use. Its all-season tread pattern is much better suited and much more at home on the highway, although it does perform well in lighter snow and slush.
