Just a heads up if any of you folks are running Coopers.

 

Damn you Uncle Cooper

 

Thanks! I have the ST Maxxes and will be going outside shortly to check my manufacturer date...

 

In full TW fashion throwing shit at the wall hoping it sticks. God forbid you'd provide actual info

Please look up the recall info. Chances are none of us use those recalled tires

Who pissed in your cheerios, just trying to help

 

Good job

Yeah, I overreacted... That's why I edited, crossed it over, and provided link with info

 

It’s relevant to others like me who have copper tires on other vehicles

 

Good year will fix this problem.

 

No, but I know someone else who possibly runs these tires. Although he did go out of his way to put on a discontinued model so it may not be these.

 

Yup, was wrong. and yup overreacted. Deleting post didn't seem right hence :

 

I will never waste my money on good year tires

 

Good job on not deleting. We all human and fuck up from time to time. Such is life.

 

thanks for the heads up!

 

crap. I was hoping to get free tires. My AT3s are due for replacing before next winter

 

I thought the exact thing after clicking through that god-awful Fox Business link...

 

Well, you're going to quit buying Cooper soon. Big daddy Goodyear scooped up "mid-tier" Cooper.

 

Fairly off-topic but I spent about 2 years doing upgrades in a former Bridgestone plant when Michelin bought them about 30 years ago. I got to see, up close how a tire is made from start to finish....pretty damn amazing to be honest with you. This particular plant made tires from cheap, Sears brand to the most expensive, performance tires of the day. The same worker who assembled the Sears brand tire also made the expensive, which were Corvette tires of the time, the only real difference was the components and rubber compounds. Tires don't, necessarily have to be black for any particular reason. I was told they could make tires almost any color, or even see-through.

The workers got 2 or 3 sets of tires, each year as part of their compensation. One story was that once they started making the Corvette tires, which were over $200/piece 30+ years ago, they had to change the rules that the employee had to actually own a vehicle that fit the tires they took. Everyone was taking Corvette tires and selling them.

 

Yeah I hope it doesn't change for the worse. Across the board cooper has been reliable for what I've experienced with em. Mostly the st Maxx studded winter driving 10k trailer

 

So, did some research today. The recall number is 21T002

Doesnt look like (most of )our tires are affected. Only 18-20inch rims.

Looks like there was a problem with the white sidewall part of the tire. I have the affected tires, but in a 16 inch rim. And my whites are inside....
