BACKGROUND:                    The A1 Grand Prix brings together 25
nations representing 80 percent of the world's population to actively
compete on a level playing field. It's a series where technology and
innovation is deliberately equalized forcing team and driver to work in
tandem to create the winning advantage.

This level playing field includes the Cooper-A1 racing radials that
every team competes on.  Designed to run at very high temperatures, the
Cooper-A1 tire's distinctive blend of compounds create a soft and tacky
tire to provide an incredible level of grip by literally sticking the
car to the track. Cooper Tire has also designed a grooved wet weather
tire to handle even the most severe weather conditions but with a
construction that provides enough resilience to endure a full race
distance.
