FINDLAY — A Wisconsin woman is the winner of Cooper Tire & Rubber Co.’s “My Every Day Road Trip” contest.

The company had invited consumers to show — through video, written stories, and photos — how their everyday journeys are sometimes not so everyday. Lisa Larson won the top prize of a year’s worth of free gasoline and a set of Cooper tires.

Cooper said her entry, which featured her two young daughters pedaling a three-wheeler around a snow-dusted driveway, “brought to light the importance of relying on tires for her family’s safety, even before they leave the driveway.”
