Features

HIGH TRACTION TREAD DESIGN : The intricate tread pattern balances winter traction and a smooth, quiet ride. The deep lateral and notched circumferential grooves provide excellent evacuation of water and slush from the tread contact patch.

PATENTED â€œSNOW GROOVEâ€ DESIGN TECHNOLOGY : Provides biting edges for excellent snow and ice traction without reducing element stiffness. The snow groove enhances the retention of snow in the outer circumferential grooves to capitalize on the higher traction characteristics of â€œsnow on snowâ€ versus â€œsnow on rubberâ€.

ENHANCED STUDDED PERFORMANCE : The stud pin hole design improves stud retention and the number has been increased allowing for the use of a greater number of studs for better traction on ice. The stud size is conveniently molded into the sidewall for easy reference.

TRI-POLYMER BLEND TREAD COMPOUND : Specially formulated for excellent winter traction while maintaining wet and dry performance and treadwear.

â€œD SQUAREDâ€ SIPE TECHNOLOGY (DENSITY x DEPTH) : Incorporates a dense zig-zag sipe pattern that further enhances winter performance while maintaining excellent wet traction. Variable sipe depth maintains element stability while optimizing winter performance.

COMPUTER-OPTIMIZED RANDOM PITCH SEQUENCE : The tread pitch sequence has been computer-optimized to reduce tread related tire noise for increased riding comfort.

I got 22,000 miles out of these tires. I bought them in the middle of the winter. They seemed great until the snow got deep. After 6 inches of snow, don't expect much. I'm a mail man and drive all types of roads. For the money, this is a good tire.

I didn't have any issues with the Courser. I liked the name, made me think of an elk running through the snow. While it wasn't great in deep snow, it did okay on Fairbanks roads in the middle of winter as a studded tire, especially for the money. Felt pretty stable in turns. Wasn't my favorite, didn't use it in the summer since it was studded. I had it on 6.5" black steel rims, and I hope to upgrade to 7" wide ones so rear wheel-well rubbing on bumps isn't an issue anymore.
