Cooper

I bought 4 brand new CS4 225/65r17 Touring tires on Friday 10-30-09 and on Saturday evening 10-31-09 I had a flat tire. They found a "hole " in it advising me I had run over something and refused to replace the tire although they did fix it for me. I am worried now after reading about all the Cooper tire problems that my tires may cause me a serious accident.

I asked for a new tire but was refused again they say because it was "my fault"! I dont drive any differently than I did before,with General tires for 33000 miles with no problems. How come in 32 hours I had a flat tire after not having one for about 7 years. It seems fishy to me this tire gave way with a hole in it after only a few hours of being on the car, appoximately 3 hours of driving on it.

I am appalled that they would not replace the tire and inspect all of them for defects. Certainly a large company like this knew of the recalls and dangers the Cooper tire problems have caused. I was not offered hazard insurance either. I am very dissappointed in Cooper tire and in Skander Tire Co. I had to borrow my husbands car for three days and am worried sick now everytime I go out that my tires may come apart or get more holes in them at high speeds since I do travel state routes a lot for business reasons.

If anything happens to me or my vehicle because of these tires I want the world to know this could have been preventable, if only this company and owner would have given me new fully inspected tires inside and out (by them) and offered me hazard insurance having known about previous recalls and Cooper tire problems.

I purchased a set of Cooper Zeon 2XS tires for my 2002 Corvette on 7/3/07, at the time the car had 25,929 miles on it. The 2 back tires were 275/40ZR/18 and cost 175.95 each. The 2 front tires were 245/45ZR/17 and cost 120.95 each. The total bill for all 4 installed on the car was 781.29. All 4 tires were wore out completely when the car reached 35,196 miles on 8/27/09. This is only 9,267 miles. The car is meticulously maintained, including tire pressure, and hardly ever driven over 60-MPH, no fast starts, or fast stops to account for the wear to the tires. When I questioned the installer about it, he said there was no mileage warranty on them, so they could not be prorated for a refund.

I have a Ford F250 diesel and have had three cooper tires separate. Two did quite a bit of damage to my truck (2 separate instances) and the third was found when I took my truck to someone else to look at it and do maintenance work on it. Over 5000 worth of damage. Front passenger side one time and the back passenger side one time. I will be returning all the tires to Tubel's and will be putting Toyo tires all the way around.

June 2007 Our F350 dually has cooper discoverer s/t tires on it. The front drivers tire seperated and caused our truck to go into the median and the car hauler we were pulling saved our lives when the truck jacknifed and started to roll. Sent the tire in and oooper said we had ran over something to cause this. We had just checked the tires at a gas station when we fueled up and we certainly did not run over anything. No lawyer will take our case because no one died and we are not asking for millions dollars-just want our truck replaced(as it was totaled) and damages to the trailer reimbursed and my husbands chiro bills paid. Do not buy Cooper Tires.
