Téligumi

A téli gumi futófelületén számtalan apró lamellát alakítottak ki, amelyekkel meg tud kapaszkodni a hóban, és speciális összetevőjének köszönhetően nagy hidegben is megőrzi a rugalmasságát. Mindezen tulajdonságai azonban a hátrányává válnak, ha tartósan hét fok fölé emelkedik az átlaghőmérséklet

History

The company's U.S. history dates back to 1914, when brothers-in-law John F. Schaefer and Claude E. Hart purchased M and M Manufacturing Company in Akron, Ohio, producing tire patches, tire cement and tire repair kits.

In 1915, Schaefer and Hart purchased The Giant Tire & Rubber Company of Akron, a tire rebuilding business, and two years later moved the business to Findlay, Ohio.

The firm changed its name to Cooper Tire & Rubber Company in 1946 and by July 11, 1960, the company became a publicly held corporation and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
