For use on passenger cars in warmer climates, Cooper's Evolution Sport is a performance tire with an asymmetrical tread pattern that improves handling and traction. When driving on wet roads, the big shoulders of the Evolution Sport put more rubber on the road to improve cornering ability, and wide grooves drain water out of the tread to lessen the chance of hydroplaning. For a peaceful, comfortable ride, an optimized structure reduces vibrations and noise from the road.

The Cooper Evolution Sport has a good SimpleScore of 7.9 because of its great handling, reliable traction, and solid longevity.
