Tire blew out at 70 MPH on freeway causing me to almost crash into guard rail. I had to pull off exit in unfamiliar city in a bad area and call emergency roadside assistance. Every tire has leaked air since purchasing and has had to be resealed and sidewalls all looked like they are cracking apart. I have contacted cooper several times to get no solution and a [xxx] response. They are still under warranty. This has been an ongoing matter for 2 and half years now! The store were purchased said I had to contact cooper not them. Every tire in this line has been recalled except this size! Now I get to spend another $1000 on new tires when these aren't even out of warranty but cooper won't do anything even tho my mechanic says they are faulty.
