 
Computer Optimized • Component System
:
CO-CS 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. CO•CS® 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 Bridgestone Potenza RE750 high performance tire,
which is optimized for handling and quiet, and the Firestone
Affinity LH30 touring tire, which is optimized for comfort,
quiet and treadlife.
