| Tire problems |
I've had 2 sets of cooper tires (cooper cs4-215/50r17 95 vput ) on my car in the past 3 years, plus 1 tire replaced in 9 months from date-of-purchase after the original tire from the 2nd set was destroyed, blown-out, from weakness in the tire. Total of 9 tires in the past 3 years. Each and every tire has been shown to be weak and frequently leak air; they also wear down quickly. The 1st set lasted me 47k miles before needing to be replaced. The 2nd set has been on my car a year( Feb '10-Mar '11), and I've had nothing but problems with them since they were installed. I have made frequent trips back to the tire retailer that installed them (blain's farm & fleet) for tire repairs. I believe these tires are too expensive ($145/tire) and are very defective. This indeed is a safety hazard, and a money waster.
