In february 2013, i bought 4 copper tires, cooper discover atr owl 235/65/r17, dot ut81 c8e 0411 for my 2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo. Factory direct tire, 22617 76th ave w, edmonds, wa 98026, sold the tires. Around middle of june 2014, someone brought to my attention that all four tires on my jeeps have cracks on sidewalls.the tires only had 8,000 miles on them; those are 50,000 miles tires.it seems that many consumers cannot see those cracks and the dealers and the manufacture get away with that; if consumers noticed those cracks, at that point, cooper just offer them a prorated amount based on tread wear.the more tire gets worn, the less money cooper had to pay.i believe it is a very dangerous game as people lives is at the stake here.people drive kids in those cars without obvious bubble or separation because it is hard to see those cracks on the side of the tire. The way that this tire is built compare to other tires, this tire eventually will have those cracks. The belt in the middle of the tire that includes cooper name and logo is a separate rubber belt between the tread and the rubber above the ream.on many tires this side is one solid piece, but not on this particular tire.it looks it is manufacturing/ engineering defect that belt in the middle of the tire eventually will start separate itself due, for example, to weather conditions, such as very hot weather. The tire like that would not pass quality control if it were tested in accordance with new standard for tire manufacturers.thus, they fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 139, "new pneumatic radial tires for light vehicles."there is another issue with cooper tires, they are not correctly reflect mileage they claiming in the warranty for their tires. For example, my mazda 6 had arizonian tires, which were manufacturing by coopers, which suppose to last 65,000 miles but were between 3 and 4/32 after 40,000 miles.
The contact owns a 2005 jeep grand cherokee.the vehicle has cooper discoverer atr tires, size 255/65r17.while routinely inspecting the tires, the contact noticed that the exterior sidewall tires had belt separation.in addition, the tread had excessive wear.she took the tires to a tire dealer and they diagnosed it as just cosmetic failure.the manufacturer stated that those particular tires (dot ending in 1506 and 3506) were excluded from nhtsa campaign id number 06t016000 (tires:tread/belt).the contact would be responsible for the repair costs.she has pictures of the failed component.the vin was unknown.the tire failure mileage was 5,000.the vehicle failure and current mileages were 95,000.
The contact owns a 2001 dodge ram 1500.the vehicle has cooper discoverer atr tires, size 245/75r/16 (na).while placing tire shine on the tires, the contact noticed that the driver's side tire was showing signs of separation.he was also able to see the radial part of the tire.the manufacturer advised him to take the vehicle to a tire shop for inspection.the mechanic at the shop stated that the tire was defective and other tires were beginning to display signs of tread separation.he consulted the manufacturer again and they stated that since the tires were not the size cited in nhtsa campaign id number 06t016000, they were unable to assist.the current and failure mileages were approximately 136,000.
I just purchased a 2004 gmc 2500hd from a private party.i inspected the tires (cooper discoverer atr, lt265/16r16 load range e, dot#3dw8 c8c 2406) and revealed that the tread and sidewalls on all four tires were separating.i contacted the previous owner who contacted the dealer whom he purchased the truck from.the dealer told him that i would have to contact cooper tire company to resolve this issue.upon reading the nhtsa complaints and recall history i realize that it is useless to contact cooper tire since nhtsa has not mandated cooper to recall the rest of the tires that were effected by the "bad robber" in 2006.i will have the tires replaced and place them in the garage for when the recall comes out after someone's life is taken due to a failed tire and a failed policy.i am just glad that i inspected them closely before i put my family in the vehicle, attached the 30 foot fifth wheel camper and had to click "yes" on "were there any deaths or injuries?" below!
