Re: Cooper Tires MUST READ kind (of scary)

Re: Cooper Tires MUST READ (kind of scary)
Yeah, and look, these same guys say that Goodyears are scary too!!: http://www.tiredefects.com/goodyear/...estigation.cfm
Oh, and "General, Toyo, Cooper Tire, Sumitomo Rubber, and Dunlop" tires too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: http://www.tiredefects.com/dunlop-ti...-rollovers.cfm
We're all dooooooooooomed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks God for plaintiffs' lawyers giving us the scoop about how all tires are bad and their manufacturers need to be sued (with mere 33% contingency fee going to those informative saviors). |

Re: Cooper Tires MUST READ (kind of scary)
You make a good point which I had not realized. . Noteworthy. however. is the fact that the Cooper situation involves a greater incidence, includes their truck tires (both their AT Dominator and their MT Discoverer) and there was a conviction and recall. BFG had only 37 occurrences not involving truck tires, no convictions and no recall. I'm not making any judgement about the Coopers for anyone else, I just thought folks (especially off-roaders) should know. If I had Coopers, would I try to get the company to buy them back? Yes, I would. If I had BFG's, I would not be worried. I have survived a freeway tread delamination with family in the car (S-10 Blazer with Uniroyals).

I dont understand why tires arnt this way in the first place? Why do we need air in the tire? You'd never have a flat tire if it was just all rubber, and you'd never have to buy more tires, just re-tread them.

I got a chance to try such tires on a bicycle. A harsh ride is a severe understatement.  |
