The second one did $6,000. I am surprised the truck didn't roll over on the second, since it pitched the truck sideways and slid down the highway quite a ways before I got it straightened back out.

When the first one failed, Cooper said the tires were not recalled, but gave me one new one. When the second one failed, they changed their mind and said that lot was indeed recalled.

At the time, there was a law firm that did NOTHING but sue Cooper Tires for failures. I haven't looked lately, but back then, Cooper tires had so many recalls, I'm surprised they are still in business.

I had a similar bad experience with a Cooper fail. Luckily, no significant damage.
