On july 10, 2003 my cousin's 1998 ford rangers left rear tire peeled apart, causing the truck to flip and blow-up. There was no warning, what-so-ever. My cousin and a passenger were both killed. The rear tires were cooper discoverer h/t tires. A tire expert later determined that this tire had both a manufacturing and design defect. The family attempted to mitigated this tragic event by contacting cooper tire & rubber company directly. Cooper tire company offered no defense, nothing. We are now in litigation. I personally asked coopers' attorneys about the origin of their tires rubber. I was told, "cooper gets their rubber from various sources." we request the nhtsainvestigate cooper tire and rubber company's manufacturing process. The public needs to know if this company uses unsafe rubber made in china in the manufacturer of its h/t discoverer tire. We also request the nhtsa discuss with cooper its misleading use of the letters " h/t" which suggest the tire is safe for both highway and terrain (off road) use. This is an unsafe tire.

Tread separated from tire - resulting in extensive damage to truckthis was the 2nd cooper tire on this truck to do this - but we found that problem before it came completely apart - i do not have the info on the earlier tire because i took it to my tire dealer and they replaced it with another tire - same kind. This tire was from the other side that came apart and did the extensive damage this time.
