About the Cooper Evolution Winter

Winter confidence engineered from the ground up.

Best forDrivers of passenger cars, CUVs, SUVs, and light trucks who need certified severe-snow capability and optional studdability for icy winter commutes.

The Cooper Evolution Winter is a dedicated cold-weather tire built for coupes, sedans, CUVs, SUVs, and light trucks. Carrying the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification, it is engineered to handle ice, slush, and snow with confident traction and lasting tread life. It should only be used when temperatures remain consistently at or below 45°F.

The symmetrical tread features a sawtooth center rib that broadens road contact for improved stability on slick winter surfaces, while the sipe pattern enhances straight-line grip on snow and ice. A dedicated snow groove further boosts traction in accumulation. For extreme icy conditions, the tire can be pinned with TSMI #12 studs where local regulations allow, adding an extra layer of bite.

Questions about this tire

What does 255/65R18 111T mean?

255 is the tread width in millimeters, 65 means the sidewall is 65% of that width, and R18 is the 18-inch rim it mounts on. 111 is the load index (2,403 lbs per tire), and T is the speed rating (up to 118 mph).

Is the Cooper Evolution Winter a true winter tire or just an all-season?

It is a dedicated winter tire, not an all-season. It carries the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification, meaning it has passed testing for severe snow conditions. Because its compound is optimized for cold weather, it should not be used when temperatures are consistently above 45°F.

Can I add studs to the Cooper Evolution Winter?

Yes — the Evolution Winter is designed to accept TSMI #12 studs, which can meaningfully improve stopping and traction on hard ice. Keep in mind that studded tires are restricted or prohibited in some states and municipalities, so check your local regulations before studding.

How does this tire perform compared to a dedicated ice tire in extreme conditions?

The Evolution Winter handles a broad range of winter conditions well, and the studdable option helps on severe ice. That said, on pure glare ice or in extreme sub-zero climates, a purpose-built studded ice tire may offer a further edge. For most winter commuters dealing with snow, slush, and moderate ice, the Evolution Winter is a capable and practical choice.

What vehicles is the Cooper Evolution Winter compatible with?

It is designed for passenger vehicles including coupes, sedans, CUVs, SUVs, and light trucks. With 51 sizes available from 15- to 20-inch rim diameters, it fits a wide variety of makes and models.

Does the Cooper Evolution Winter come with a mileage warranty?

Warranty coverage is set by Cooper at the manufacturer level and can vary. We recommend confirming the specific warranty terms applicable to your chosen size at the time of purchase.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
