Cooper rolls out Zeon Sport A/S from Cooper Tire:
The Zeon Sport A/S Hits the Street

FINDLAY, OHIO, MARCH 2, 2006 - COOPER TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY recently
introduced a new generation ultra-high performance, all-season tire for
today's most demanding cars and discriminating drivers - the Cooper
Zeon Sport A/S. *The Sport A/S redefines the all-season performance
tire category by allowing drivers of sports cars, sports coupes and
performance sedans year-round traction, predictable handling and
control in both dry and wet road conditions.

The Cooper Zeon Sport A/S gives drivers the dry performance of an
ultra-high performance tire, with a remarkable amount of grip, setting
the all-season tire standard for driving in wet and winter conditions. *
Packed with a number of features, this all-season tire is specifically
designed for serious drivers who demand dry road agility and
performance in an ultra-high performance tire with the added
convenience of suitability for driving during the winter months.

The Sport A/S represents Cooper innovation at its finest. *This
all-season tire features a new silica-enhanced, high-grip tread
compound molded into a directional tread design for all-weather use. *
The tire's circumferential and transverse grooves pump water and slush
away from the tire's footprint, which delivers additional all-season
tire traction and excellent handling - even in areas that have light snow - to easily navigate through corners.

Cooper's new Sport A/S is creating a new level of excitement among
high-performance vehicle owners because it's so quiet on the street,
not to mention that the Sport A/S also takes advantage of leading-edge technology.
This innovative tire features a highly sophisticated engineered
package with a remarkable ability to deliver superior ride comfort and
responsive handling while reducing noise.

Equally impressive is the innovative bold tread design. *The sleek and
stylish tread highlights Cooper's name which is molded into center of
the tread design. *This new all-season tire is W-speed rated in popular
55-, 50-, 45-, and 40-series sizes to fit in 16- through 18-inch wheel
diameters. *The Cooper Zeon Sport A/S sidewall styling features subtle
black letters on a reversed stylized serrated band.

If you're fortunate enough to be sitting in the driver's seat (or even
if you're not), you'll experience the performance and confidence that
comes with riding on Cooper tires. *The Cooper Zeon Sport A/S is
designed to outperform in every way, which is why it's one of the most
advanced all-season ultra-high performance tires available today.

The Cooper Zeon Sport A/S - the ultimate accessory for your vehicle. *
But then again, that's just what you'd expect from Cooper.
