Apparently, the workers at Cooper got a head start on the company ownership change of hands. The first set of tires I ever bought new were a set of Cooper tires, way back 40+ years ago. Within a month of having put those new Cooper tires on my car, I blew two of them out withing a week of each other. Cooper did replace the defective tires without question, I didn't keep the car long enough to know how the rest of the tires held up. Haven't bought Cooper tires since... Gene

That was my experience with the Cooper tires I had all those years ago. I was driving down the highway with all 4 tires full of air, then the next second, a loud bang and one of them didn't have any air in it at all. Rapid deflate! It was an equally fast learning experience for this 17 year old kid whom was probably traveling well over the then 65 mph speed limit. I'm happy to report nothing more then the tire got damaged. When that 2nd tire blew out the next week, I was well experienced on how to handle the situation. Gene
