    It's really too bad, I like the tire now that they seem to be working out, but I agree, not worth your kid getting sick over and they quality control seems to be an issue.

    I know. Sucks, I LIKE THE tire. Feels good, grabs nice, rides nice, great in the wet.... but, the vibration is too much

    Yup, if they run well they are some of the best out there and at a great price. I feel like this failure is going to haunt the company for years. Anyone who ran into these issues most likely won't trust again.




    Anyone here ever do legos? Anyone still do them? What I'm getting at is has anyone put together one of these

    I don't do legos but the Porsche just looks real nice and is tempting me to give it a shot. $300+ is hold me back :rofl::bananadead:

    Saw some guys on the lake the other day. Should be cold enough, especially since you are up north a bit. I never ice fished but I used to drink on the lake while my buddies did in High School....best form of fishin in my mind. Good luck!:fingerscrossed:

    Glad I didn't go with those now! I am happy with my Cooper AT3 4S so far.

    I work today. Just about nobody else will though, so it'll be quiet and I will get a lot done.

    Like I was saying with @Chasespeed, I'm happy with my set of tires now and really like them, but I'm really disappointed in their quality control over all. I feel like I've shilled for Falken and then they just keep putting out crap. I've never tried the Coopers, but I've also never read a complaint about them either...



    my cousin volunteered to go in today since during the day not much goes on and in exchange he gets to take a day when he wants later this year.

    Yeah, overall, torn between dealing with it, or not.

    Gonna call a local shop that can road force, and if doesnt improve, Im done.

    Ive run coopers on the vans, abd have no comlaints.

    I however, would prefer a C tire, and mountain snowflake. If I had 17s, Id go back to KO2s. But, it will most likely be DuraTracs

    I'm working today. I guess that really depends on the family. At our family gatherings, my dad and I usually find a quiet-ish corner to sit, chat, and sip bourbon while my nieces and nephews all run around amped up on sugar. Not too horrible a way to pass the time, I'd rather be doing that than working.

    Yeah, I have some family parties that I really enjoy, and somewhere I am counting down until it's been long enough where I can go home without being rude
