WE REPLACED OUR ORIGINAL TIRES AT 37,156 MILES WITH THESE COOPER TIRES. OUR LOCAL EXPERT TIRE STORE IS WHERE WE PURCHASED THEM AND THEY ALSO DID THE MOUNTING AND BALANCE. THIS WAS DONE ON 06/22/99. ON 09/21/00, WE TOOK THE VAN BACK TO OUR DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND ROTATION. UPON INSPECTION, THE SERVICE SUPERVISOR ADVISED US NOT TO DRIVE ON THESE TIRES UNTIL REPLACED, AS THERE WAS STEEL CORD SHOWING THROUGH ON 3 OF THE 4 TIRES. THE WEAR WAS ON THE INSIDE AREA OF THE TIRES, WHICH COULD NOT BE SEEN UNLESS UP ON A HOIST. WE LEFT THE VAN AND HAD THE TIRES REPLACED. UNFORTUNATELY, WE DID NOT HAVE THEM SAVE THE TIRES. WE WERE UPSET THAT THESE HAD TO BE REPLACED SO SOON, AND THAT THE WEAR SEEMED TO HAPPEN SO INTENSELY, SO QUICKLY. WE HAVE THE OIL CHANGED ON A REGULAR BASIS AND ALSO THE ROTATION, ALIGNMENT, ETC. WHEN WE QUESTIONED COOPER ABOUT THE TIRES, THEIR REPONSE WAS, "IT SOUNDS MORE LIKE AN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE". WE THEN SAW ON THE NEWS WHERE QUESTIONS WERE BEING ASKED OF COOPER TIRES AND THE WAY THEIR TIRES ARE MANUFACTURED. WE ARE LUCKY THAT NO ONE WAS HURT, AS THESE TIRES OBVIOUSLY COULD HAVE BLOWN AT ANY TIME. WE HAVE OTHER PASSENGERS IN OUR VAN FROM TIME TO TIME, WE WERE VERY LUCKY.*AK (TIRESIZE: 2157OR15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 2157OR15 )
