The Cobra Instinct is Cooper's Ultra High Performance All-Season tire designed for drivers of family sedans, sports cars and luxury vehicles looking for a tire that can improve their driving experience all year long. Built to handle any season, the Cobra Instinct offers responsive control whenever drivers need it, on bright sunny days, pouring rain or even light snow.

The Cobra Instinct features an all-season compound molded into an asymmetric tread pattern to take advantage of the vehicle's natural body roll and weight distribution under different conditions to maximize performance. Layered over a lightweight construction to maximize responsiveness to driver input, engineers at Cooper have focused on iterating the Cobra Instinct's braking in all weather conditions over previous generations. When rain falls, four circumferential grooves work with sweeping tread elements alongside the inboard edge to evacuate water from the contact patch to fight hydroplaning. Multi-directional siping applied throughout the tread pattern provide the flexibility and biting edges to maintain traction in light snow as well as the wet roads left in the melt.

Internal construction of the Cobra Instinct begins with a 2-ply polyester body casing extending fully into the sidewall for durable rigidity and responsive steering. Two steel belts join a reinforcing polyamide cap ply for predictable handling and high speed capability.
