Cooper Tire Kicks Off
Ultimate Bowl Tour

Enter-to-Win the College Football Trip of a Lifetime
5 Bowl Games in 9 Days

FINDLAY, OHIO, September 1, 2010 - All college football roads lead to the season's final bowl games, and this season Cooper Tire & Rubber Company (NYSE: CTB) is awarding the most driven fan with a once-in-a-lifetime trip to attend five of the biggest bowl games including the Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Cotton Bowl and the National Championship Game. The winner of the Cooper Tire Ultimate Bowl Tour and three very lucky friends will be whisked away on a private jet, their own "team plane," making stops in Pasadena, Miami, New Orleans, Dallas and Glendale over nine intense, football-filled days. 

College football loyalists will recognize a familiar face coaching fans to enter the Cooper Tires Ultimate Bowl Tour, ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit of College Gameday fame, who is accustomed to watching some of the sport's greatest match-ups.

"There is something special about college football - the intensity of the game, the commitment of the players and the sheer passion of the fans," Herbstreit said. "I can't think of a better way than the Cooper Tires Ultimate Bowl Tour to experience the game in all its glory. Five bowl games in just over a week, that's an unbelievable prize that any football fan would want to win!"

Football fanatics and consumers everywhere can huddle up and enter the Ultimate Bowl Tour once a day between Sept. 1 and Nov. 15, 2010, with entries submitted at Cooper Tire dealer locations nationwide or at Ultimate Bowl Tour.

"The more you enter, the better your chances of winning," Herbstreit said. "Spending less than one minute a day entering online could score you irreplaceable memories and make you the envy of all your friends, not to mention every other college football fan in the country."

The Grand Prize winner will be selected and notified in early December and receive tickets to the five bowl games, private jet transportation to each game, hotel accommodations and round trip airport and game transfers. Twenty-five first-prize winners will receive a new set of four Cooper tires (valued up to $500) and 50 second-prize winners will receive a Cooper Tire Duffel Bag, complete with all the apparel needed for their own friendly game of backyard football.
