<\/p>\nCooper Tire Europe has increased its involvement in UK mountain search and rescue operations by providing support to teams across England and Wales. As part of the initiative, several teams are now equipped with tyres from Cooper\u2019s extensive 4×4 range.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cooper initially entered the mountain search and rescue sector by equipping the South Snowdonia Search & Rescue Team (SSSART). Under the umbrella of the Mountain Rescue England and Wales organisation, supply has rapidly expanded to half a dozen search and rescue teams with the addition of: North Dartmoor Search and Rescue Team; Oldham Mountain Rescue Team; Kinder Mountain Rescue Team; Calder Valley Search and Rescue Team; and Exmoor Search and Rescue Team.<\/p>\n
Most teams use modified Land Rover Defenders to tackle the demanding landscapes and conditions they encounter, with Cooper\u2019s Discoverer S\/T MAXX P.O.R. and Discoverer STT PRO P.O.R. being the most popular tyre fitments utilised. Both tyres feature ground-breaking Armor Tek\u00b3 Construction, which provides durability and puncture resistance. Alongside this, the Discoverer S\/T MAXX P.O.R. boasts a cut and chip resistant tread compound, and stone ejector ribs, while the Discoverer STT PRO P.O.R. uses alternating shoulder lugs to enhance traction in mud and soft surfaces.<\/p>\n
Michiel Kramer, Sales and Marketing Director, Cooper Tire Europe, said: \u201cWe are very proud to supply tyres to many of the mountain rescue teams in operation across England and Wales. While the hundreds of dedicated volunteers spend their time helping others, we want to help them carry out their roles as efficiently as possible by providing high-quality, durable tyres for search and medical vehicles.\u201d<\/p>\n
Simon Thresher, Vehicles Officer, Mountain Rescue England and Wales, added: \u201cMountain rescue teams are called out at a moment\u2019s notice \u2013 any time, day or night, in all weather. We operate across many different terrains and rely heavily on our vehicles. Cooper Tires give rescue teams the ability to get team members and equipment safely to where they are needed, ensuring that cold, injured or lost members of the public get help.\u00a0As Mountain Rescue England and Wales is 100 per cent voluntary, we rely on the generosity of the public and companies like Cooper.\u201d<\/p>\n
