I've had 2 sets of cooper tires (cooper cs4-215/50r17 95 vput ) on my car in the past 3 years, plus 1 tire replaced in 9 months from date-of-purchase after the original tire from the 2ND set was destroyed, blown-out, from weakness in the tire. Total of 9 tires in the past 3 years. Each and every tire has been shown to be weak and frequently leak air; they also wear down quickly. The 1ST set lasted me 47K miles before needing to be replaced. The 2ND set has been on my car a year( feb '10-mar '11), and I've had nothing but problems with them since they were installed. I have made frequent trips back to the tire retailer that installed them (blain's farm & fleet) for tire repairs. I believe these tires are too expensive ($145/tire) and are very defective. This indeed IS a safety hazard, and a money waster. *tr

TL* the contact owns a 2004 dodge stratus coupe. While making a right turn, the vehicle accelerated, and she heard a loud noise. She contacted a local towing company who confirmed that the front lower control arm and ball joint were fractured. The manufacturer advised the contact to have the vehicle towed to the dealer and offered to assume liability for a small percentage of the repairs. The contact was not satisfied with the offer and would like the manufacturer to cover the entire repair cost. The failure and the current mileages were 56,000.
