Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: We (unknowingly) bought $200 each, 10 ply cooper tires from discount tire less than 2 years ago. these were supposed to be able to handle the weight of our truck and camper. in october of 2005, the tread came completely off of one of the rear tires and damaged one side of the truck and part of the cab over camper. then this past weekend, the same thing happened, the tread completely came off, really damaged the other side of the truck and also partially damaged the boat we were towing. the tires both times were still holding air, just threw the tread. my husband actually went and retrieved the tread from the highway this latest time. discount tire will have to replace the tire, because of the warranty, but that does not solve the danger or the damages these tires are causing. the same night as this happened, abc 15 news showed a story that this is happening all over with cooper tires, and showed us how to identify that we had some of these tires that are throwing their tread. ours are on the list. *nm
