FINDLAY, Ohio (Oct. 13, 2006) — Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. has voluntarily recalled 79,857 tires in various sizes and models made earlier this year at its Albany, Ga., plant because of faulty bead wire coat stock, the company said.

The tires were made during an eight-day period earlier this year. For safety’s sake, all the tires manufactured during the two-week period that encompassed the eight days were recalled, even though fewer than half are likely to have the defective bead wire coat stock, Cooper said in a statement.

“This manufacturing issue was unique in nature,” the company said. “We have already taken strict corrective action to prevent this from occurring again.”

Cooper has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, as well as all dealers who carried the tires in stock. The tire maker will replace the tires free of charge. For information on specific recalled tires, call Cooper’s Consumer Relations Department at 1-800-854-6288.

I used to like Coopers tires until this happened to me a couple of years ago on the interstate at around 80 mph...on the front drivers side, no less. It was scary at first and I came very close to rolling. Ive never seen a passenger tire come apart like this before, but it was almost like a re-tread from a semi, the tread just peeled away from the tire. The only thing that would do this would be if Id run over something that cut it but I was following other cars and I inspected the tire when I got home and found nothing. The dealer told me "thats a hell of a deal...but we cant do anything, you probably ran over somemthing" Needless to say, I dont buy Coopers anymore.

I'm not worried. But as Ken said, it happens to any manufacturer.

Yep...

I had a set of Pirelli's where three of the four tires belts shifted in less than 200 miles of use. It happens much less to the good brands, but it still happens.

Oh I agree, and to be honest, Id still be using their tires if the dealer hadnt treated me so shabbily. Customer service goes a long ways in my book, and the strange thing about it was, I have 4 vehicles and had been dealing with them for many years, always bought my tires there, and theyd always had outstanding service...until this one incident. Other than that, I think they have great tires
