Cooper Zeon Sport A/S and Discoverer S/T expanded sizes are all about
performance.

recently introduced an expanded range of sizes for high performance and
sport-utility vehicles.  So no matter which vehicle you're into, Cooper
tires give you the performance and flexibility to take your driving to the
next level.

Cooper's latest ultra-high performance tire line - the Cooper Zeon Sport

performance with uncompromising wet or dry traction, and additional
traction in areas that have light snow.  Two new sizes are now available.

Sport and the Dodge Charger R/T.
- 245/50ZR16 offers fitments that include the 1997-2002 Camaro and
Firebird.

The Discoverer S/T line was produced for the demands of today's
high-powered machines and includes some popular fitments for today's light
trucks and SUVs.  The LT275/65R18 (load range E) Discoverer S/T is now
available as a replacement fitment for the Ford F-250 and F-350.

With these added size options to choose from, driving enthusiasts have yet
another excuse to spend as much time as possible behind the wheel.  Cooper
