195/60/15 I purchased four new tires from prospect tire and wheels on September 23, 2022, with an alignment. In August of this year, 2023, I returned because of an issue with one of the tires, and the alignment. They told me after replacing the most serious issue that all four tires had "bubbles". They weren't willing to do anything except to rotate the "bad" tires to the rear of the car and sell me one other that absolutely had to be replaced. They offered me the contact information for their distributors as they had no idea which one it was they got the tires from. I contacted cooper about the issue and the representative I spoke to, julie, said they had no record of them because these particular tires were destined for mexico? in my response below, I indicate when the tires were first purchased up until now, because I've had nothing but issues with them since.

The rear driver tire went flat while driving 60 mph. The window was down and all of a sudden a tapping noise started to sound, when the car stopped because the steering wheel was feeling shaky, the tire had a rip in the side of it, the wires were showing, it looked like a cut but it had just happened while driving down the highway. It was scary to say the least. The tire has alot of tread left on it and I think the other matching set of tires may explode any day. Afraid to drive the car now with the tires being this way.

Purchased the car in may of 2003, June 30th of 2003 check engine light came on and had to have the tps replaced and 3 more times to present. Have had multiple headlights replaced, heating problem, exhaust replaced. Car is now on 46,000 had transmission replaced (through an att. From lemon law) at 16,000 miles had to have tires replaced. And, now to date tires were replaced for the 5th time, brakes were done 4 times, now to find out the reason tires and brakes were needed to be replaced so many times is because the suspension is way out of alignment which seeing I have had the problem all along I now believe it was a defect all along.
