Body Damage is Cool

That is a bubble caused by impact breaks. when you hit an object hard enough , weather it is a rock,pothole or whatever ,The inside of the tire will rip slightly. that allows air to get in between the layers and form those bubbles. I doubt seriously cooper or any other company will recall tires,or even adjust(replace the tire for a fraction of the cost depending on milage) for those bubbles. I work for a goodyear/cooper dealer now and heard of no such recall

out of all the jeeps in this town the d**n gremlin had to invade mine

I've done so much,with so little for so long i can practicly do anything with nothing

Strange that 4 Wheel Parts is offering rebates on Pro Comp and Dick Cepek tires right now. Both are Cooper products and on the alleged recall list.

So what are you guys saying? That just because Cooper made the list, that all Cooper made or associated tires should be replaced or considered to be replaced. If so, that would be a lot of tires! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

What about the other companies on the list and their affiliates? Should all of those be considered to be replaced because of affiliation? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

The list contains several BRAND NAMES, However Cooper Tires makes the tires for the companies on that list, such as PRO COMP.

if i understand you correctly
