This is the third replacement tire set on this Outback the car has 85K miles. These tires are a pleasure to drive and shine on the interstate roadways. However, after the way they handled this issue with what I believe was a poor product they will never get any of my business again and I certainly will not recommend them to anyone. I have had four sets of cooper tires on various vehicles with this being my first time to experience problems. We had to pay another $477.00 dollars to replace defective tires at half their life. Cooper said they would not honor their warranty as the wear was "uneven" which is completely false. We had the maintenance records to show that we had followed the companies recommendations to the letter sent with the worn out tires. We asked the dealer if they could be prorated as we were only at roughly 1/2 of the advertised wear life and he said he would check and see. At 42,000 miles on the tires, it was recommended we replace them as the tread was worn down to the wear bars on the front two tires and was at 3/32 on the rear tires. We noticed a loss of traction in wet weather at about 30,000 miles and were told during inspection and rotation that they were wearing very fast. They were kept properly inflated and rotated every 10,000 miles.


We had the vehicle aligned at the time the tires were installed. We bought these tires at the recommendation of our local service shop.
