The company, (Cooper tires) headquartered in Findlay, Ohio with operations in 10 countries, has released their first low-rolling resistance tire line; the Cooper GFE (Greater Fuel Efficiency).

The GFE is a touring tire and will initially come in eight sizes, targeted at already fuel-efficient vehicles like the Toyota Prius, Corolla, Yaris and Echo, and the Honda Hybrid Civic and Fit. They will also cover select Ford, GM, Chrysler and Nissan vehicles. The tread stock features a silica technology joined with a specialized polymer to provide low-rolling resistance and longer tread life. The mold technology uses traction compensating sipes which increase in length as the tire wears. A technology that the company says helps maintain wet and winter traction as the tread wears. They are so certain about the tire’s longevity that the GFE features a 60,000 60,000-mile treadwear protection warranty.
