The Cooper ProControl is a solid choice for drivers who value comfort and longevity in a grand touring all-season tire. Its 70,000-mile treadwear warranty and a treadlife score of 9 significantly exceed the category average, making it a cost-effective option for those who cover a lot of ground annually.
In terms of comfort and noise, the ProControl holds its own with scores of 8, matching the category benchmarks. This makes it suitable for long-distance travel where road noise and ride quality are key considerations. The wet grip rating of 7.5 is on par with the category average, thanks to an A traction grade, ensuring dependable performance in wet conditions.
However, the ProControl's dry grip and handling scores are average, which might not appeal to drivers seeking a more dynamic driving experience. The R speed rating is also a potential drawback for those who require higher speed capabilities, especially when compared to competitors like the Vredestein Quatrac Pro+.
If high-speed performance and sharper handling are your priorities, you might want to consider alternatives like the Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ or the BFGoodrich Advantage Control. But if comfort and treadlife are your main concerns, the ProControl is a strong contender in its class.
