Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Three of four cooper tires suffered tread separations within a month. two completely separated on the highway nearly causing loss of control and causing extensive vehicle damage from the tread impacting the vehicle. tires were replaced with another brand. cooper tire was notified. so far they claim no responsibility for damage to the vehicle. they have the first tire and i have the second and third as well as the separated tread. while cooper tire co. was evaluating our claim for the vehicle damage another cooper tire separated causing additional vehicle damage. this time i was driving, and can tell you there was no warning before the tread peeled off and smashed the rear taillight, dented the rear of the vehicle and bent the rear bumper! *nm
