| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Threads on the rear cooper tire of my pickup truck came off the tire while driving on the expressway. the threads scattered all over the road and the cars and truck in back of me had to slow down to avoid the debris. the complete side of my pickup had to be replaced. this " load range e "tire still had all of the air in it when i changed it. i sent the tire back to cooper tire company at their expense along with pictures of the damage to my truck. cooper inspected the tire and determined the air pressure had been low, apparently for some time, and denied my claim. this load range e tire has a maximum inflation of 80 psi. the firestone / bridgestone - ford court case apparently has given tire manufacturers a green light to manufacture defective tires and any problems associated with these tires are blamed on the consumer not keeping the tire pressure at maximum psi.*jb |
