is a
computerized process that optimizes
tread design, casing shape, materials
and construction for maximum tire
performance. Using proprietary software,
our engineers are able to optimize the
performance characteristics of each
specific tire line.
COCS
works by optimizing the given tread
design and tire shape through a cyclic
calculation process. For example, the
emphasis for an ultra-high performance
tire would be maximizing wet and dry
handling performance - without
significantly sacrificing ride comfort.
COCS®HAS FIVE KEY
OPTIMIZED AREAS AND CONSUMER BENEFITS.
Areas optimized via CO·CS depend on the
targeted performance characteristics of
each specific tire or tire line.
Examples include the Firestone Firehawk
SZ50 ultra-high performance tire, which
is optimized for handling and quiet, and
the Bridgestone Turanza T touring tire,
which is optimized for comfort, quiet
and treadlife.
