Cooper Tire has launched a new 17-inch wet-weather rallycross tyre, raising the standard in wet-weather performance, as Cooper continues its ongoing commitment to research and development in the Rallycross arena.
\n<\/p>\n

The 210\/635R17 wet tyres have been developed for the European Rallycross Championship and have already undergone tests in Germany, Sweden and Norway, where they ran competitively.<\/p>\n

The all-new Cooper wets have run in open competition in both Portugal and France, where the fastest laps in the heats were set on Coopers.<\/p>\n

The new rallycross rubber has received widespread praise from key personalities within the discipline, including 14-time European Rallycross Champion and Hansen Motorsport Team Manager, Kenneth Hansen, who indicated that Cooper\u2019s wet-weather tyre performance was comparable to that of its highly-acclaimed ACB11 in dry conditions.<\/p>\n

European Marketing Communications Manager, Sarah McRoberts, said that the move was indicative of Cooper\u2019s long-term involvement in the sport, saying, \u201cRallycross is a discipline which we\u2019ve been involved with for several years, with both the Cooper and Avon brands being held in very high esteem amongst rallycross competitiors.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s now a very exciting time for the sport and for us, as it continues to grow in stature and is now receiving the respect and interest it deserves as a truly demanding and exciting form of motorsport. As we look to further increase our involvement in rallycross, it\u2019s undoubtedly the right time to branch out and develop a brand new wet-weather tyre<\/a> that provides the same superior performance as our highly acclaimed ACB11 dry-weather tyres.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cooper is already established as the world-leader in rallycross tyre production, with Cooper and Avon brands being the tyres of choice for the vast majority of competitors.<\/p>\n

For the 2013 European Rallycross season, Cooper Tire is sponsoring rookie racer, Timmy Hansen. The 21-year-old has thus far enjoyed a fantastic start to his rallycross career, sealing his maiden win at round three in Hungary. The young Swede now lies second in the SuperCar standings.<\/p>\n

The next round of the European Rallycross Championship will be held at H\u00f6ljes, Sweden, over the weekend of July 6-7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
