Mumbai, March 20 -- Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. hit a major milestone by producing the 400 millionth tyre at its Texarkana light truck tyre plant on February 8, 2019. The 400-millionth tyre is a Discover STT PRO, produced at the 55-year-old plant which has produced more tyres than any other Cooper Tire facility.

"If you were to stack 400-million tyres end to end, they would reach about 200,000 miles, that's eight trips around the world," says a company spokesman.

As part of the celebration, which was organized around the theme of sustaining excellence, Cooper donated 19 sets of tyres to local teachers and other educators.

The Texarkana plant employs nearly 1,700 workers.
