Massive Cooper Tire recall
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.

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.

You need to take some new photos, buddy.

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.  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...
