FINDLAY, OHIO, FEBRUARY 7, 2012 - COOPER TIRE & RUBBER
COMPANY (NYSE: CTB) announced today that the Cooper Zeon
RS3-A has been selected as a Best Buy by Consumers Digest.
According to the publication, a Consumers Digest Best Buy is
defined as a product that delivers exceptional value for a
given amount of money and is awarded to fewer than three
percent of the competing models in any given product
category.
The current issue recognizes the Cooper Zeon RS3-A, Cooper's
newest all-season ultra high performance product. The RS3-A
features large tread elements with an asymmetrical design,
which provides drivers confidence year round. The tire's
advanced technology mold profile allows for more
tread-to-road contact through a square tread footprint. The
RS3-A is available in 47 sizes and offers a 40,000 mile
treadwear warranty.
"It's exciting to hear the RS3-A achieved another
win in third-party testing by being recognized by Consumers
Digest," said Hal Gardner, Cooper's Vice President
of Marketing Communications and Market Intelligence.
"This is further evidence of the outstanding performance
of our products and another example of how Cooper is
continuing to strengthen its relationship and value
proposition with consumers seeking a quality product at a
reasonable price."
Magazine editors commented that the Cooper Zeon RS3-A
"delivered the best braking and hydroplaning resistance
of any performance tire that we evaluated that costs less
than $200. We also found that it makes for the quietest ride
of any performance tire that we evaluated in this price
range."
Best Buys in tires are selected based on performance,
features, expected tread life and warranty. Best Buys, in
general, can be assessed based on eight specific criteria
carried out in numerous ways: hands-on use; review of
independent evaluation/testing; review of reports from
government agencies and others; interviews of retailers and
service technicians; review of consumer surveys; and/or
review of evaluations from other entities.
