Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Copper Tire/Good Year Recall

An estimated 430,000 light truck tires made by Cooper® Tires have been recalled because they can develop sidewall bulges that could lead to tire failure.

Certain Discoverer, Evolution, Courser, Deegan, Adventurer, Hercules, Back Country, Multi-Mile, Wild Country and Big O tires in several sizes are included in the recall.

The tires recalled were made between Feb. 1, 2018 and Dec. 1, 2019.
Cooper Tires: sidewall bulges

The company reported in documents published by U.S. safety regulators that the bulges can cause a sidewall separation. That can make the tires lose air rapidly, increasing the risk of a crash.

The company’s website recommends consumers who think their vehicles may be affected by the recall contact the nearest Cooper Tire retailer.

“If you believe you are affected by a recall do not wait to receive a notification,” the website detailed. “Provide the number to Cooper’s Consumer Relations Department and a link to help customers identify a store near them.”

Cooper stated no injury claims, deaths or property damage have been reported in connection to the issue with the tires.
Goodyear has agreed to buy Cooper

I had a set of BFG AT old style that got into the sidewall bulge group back then.

Two of the four. On a CJ5.

If one had blown on the road.....would have been a wild ride.

Who still buys Goodyear’s.?

Maybe that’s why coopers get so damn noisy

My only coopers bulged in the tread and kind of left me stranded. I only had one other tire ever do that, a Sport King back in the late 90’s. It could have been an anomaly, but it left a bad taste in my mouth.

I quit buying Coopers...the last two sets vibrated so bad I thought it was my truck's fault.. They rolled like they were square. When I put on my first set of Michelins, it was like a different truck.

Good to know. I bought a set of Dick Cepek tires, made by Cooper, a year and a half ago. I guess I should check into this.

Damn. That'll be expensive.
