Cooper Tire & Rubber is a real wheeler dealer. The company is the fourth largest tire manufacturer in North America (behind the likes of Bridgestone, Michelin, and Goodyear) and among the top 10 in the world. It makes and sells replacement tires mainly for passenger cars and light trucks but also for motorcycles, race cars, and off-road vehicles. Cooper operates eight manufacturing facilities and some 40 distribution centers worldwide. Customers include tire dealers, wholesale distributors, and regional and national tire chains. Unlike some of its rivals, Cooper does not typically sell to automotive OEMs. It divested its tread rubber and retreading operations in 2007 to focus on the replacement tire market.
