Cooper Introduces Discoverer STT
FINDLAY, OHIO, NOVEMBER 2, 2004 - COOPER TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY (NYSE:CTB) introduces an exciting new development for the off-road enthusiast – the Cooper Discoverer STT – the tire that will rekindle your sense of adventure. Designed with rock climbing, mud eating and terrain taming in mind, this super traction tread (STT) tire was developed to meet the needs of pickup truck and sport utility vehicle drivers who desire maximum off-road traction.
The Discoverer STT is a true rock star. It features a bold, aggressive tread design that extends far down the sidewall of the tire to enhance soft surface traction and provide additional clawing power necessary to dig down in rock climbing applications. Each row of the tire’s non-directional tread elements is strategically siped for exceptional handling in wet conditions.
Of course, there’s more to the Discoverer STT than a tough exterior. This new attractive, off-road traction tire also offers a host of innovative and advanced features. This state-of-the-art tire delivers a three-ply Armor-Tek3 (pronounced Armor-Tek three) body and specially developed tread compound for excellent durability and enhanced puncture resistance. And, the notched shoulder lugs are scalloped so that one section always has a clear shot at fresh ground for superb traction in soft surface applications and additional gripping power in rock applications.
The new Discoverer STT with Armor-Tek3 will initially be available in 12 light truck sizes with an additional 14 scheduled for next year. The M+S rated tire represents original equipment replacement and sport truck, light truck and SUV plus fitment opportunities, and is available in 16-, 17- and 18-inch rim diameter sizes.
The Discoverer STT is one impressive tire. It is a perfect example of how you can never have too much adventure in your life or, for that matter, in your garage. Confidence. Performance. Durability. Don’t Give Up A Thing.
