Massive Cooper Tire recall

Hook - 5-24-2006 at 10:19 PM

In the May issue of Consumer's Report magazine, there was an article on a huge recall of many Cooper Tires manufacturered from 2004-2006. Most were light truck tires in various sizes. The recall was actually announced in February.

Also included are tires marketed under the Mickey Thompson Dick Cepek label as well as a Pro Comp Xtreme A/T.

This is the only link I could find that had some detail.

ouch that sounds like it could effect a lot of Nomads.

Thanks for the tip, Hook.

Fortunately my truck's Cooper Discoverer ATs were purchased a few months before the recall period.

Its all DK's fault, most here told him BFG's.

David K - 5-25-2006 at 03:24 PM

Well, BajaTaco and I will know if it applies to our Discoverer STTs!

Here's a trip I led in Joshua Tree last weekend (5/20):



That's me in my Jeep on the back of that poor guy's t-shirt. :yawn: Notice the tires...


$1,000.00 Scrambler with Goodyear tires hits rock...


$1,000.00 Scramber gets flat tire...


Mike focusing on the trail, not worried about his tires...



...moral of the story...BFGs are for the mall...'Swampers help you 'crawl...

Ken Cooke - 5-26-2006 at 05:20 PM

But, should we tell David K about the "Got Baja?" sticker on Mike's bumper, or should we keep it a secret??? Should David know??? :lol:
