With over a century of research, innovation and technological prowess under their belts, Cooper is ready to deliver next-generation tires for today’s vehicles and today’s drivers.

The Cooper Cobra family of tires is designed for performance and value at a surprisingly affordable price, and all are designed and manufactured with the same care and attention to detail that you’ve come to expect from Cooper.

Cooper Cobra Instinct

Responsive and nimble, the Cooper Cobra Instinct is designed for the kind of handling, braking and cornering performance you’d expect from an ultra-high-performance (UHP) tire, balanced with the versatile year-round traction of an all-season tire. The asymmetric tread design of the Cooper Cobra Instinct delivers agile handling, and confident traction no matter what the season, with a system of circumferential grooves, and sweeping curved grooves that efficiently route water and slush away from the tire’s contact patch to resist hydroplaning.

A reinforced, lightweight design means quicker steering response, lower rolling resistance and stable cornering ability, and its advanced tread compound is designed for great wear properties along with enhanced traction on wet pavement. A 2-ply polyester body extends all the way to the sidewalls, with twin steel belts and a reinforcing polyamide cap ply for an extra measure of stability, rigidity and durability. Cooper covers the Cobra Instinct with a 45,000 mile limited manufacturer’s tread life warranty.

Cooper Cobra Radial G/T

With its great-looking raised white letter sidewall, the Cooper Cobra Radial G/T combines period-correct looks for muscle cars, light trucks, street rods and sports cars, along with up-to-date design and performance. The Cobra Radial G/T balances handling response, and ride comfort with a pair of low-stretch polyester casing plies, held together with two high-tensile steel belts supporting the tread for stability.

Wet weather isn’t a problem for the Cobra Radial G/T, with its circumferential, and angled grooves that efficiently drain water from the tire’s contact patch to resist hydroplaning. Its proven all-season tread design features an innovative notched center rib that helps to encourage even wear properties while enhancing straight-line stability, and agile steering response. For drivers who don’t want the white letter look, the opposite sidewall of the Cobra Radial G/T features a stylized cobra design that looks great on all kind of vehicles.
