    Scary whats happened mate glad you're fine.

    I have actually walked into a shop committed to buy cooper tires twice! Cashed up ready to buy! And have actually had the bloke in the shop talk me out of it both times. Coopers were dearer than what I actually bought in the end... So the bloke could have easily sold me the coopers and made the bonus on his end... But they were honest about them and strayed me away, for which I am now very glad.

    In 2010 I did a trip to Beachport SA with the family. Had a great trip. On the last beach on the last day 50m from the gate I hit a rock and smashed my front left rim. Tyre was undamaged but flat. I fitted my spare.

    The following day I was traveling home on the Sunday in 42degrees. I was towing my camper with my kids in the back and Naomi was following in my Ute.

    At 100km/h my front left let go 5 hours from home.

    The front of the car lifted and lost control for a second. I thought I hit a cow or something from the left I had not seen. There was a big flash of something but I had no idea what it was. Scared the sh1t out of me. I regained control and pulled over.

    Naomi pulled up behind me, hot out and the front left had fully delaminated but remained inflated. WTF!!!!

    Naomi turned around and went and collected the Full a Length Delaminated Tread and put it in the back of the ute.

    I drove 120kms on that carcass at 60km/h and limped into Mortlake at 2pm on a Sunday in 42degrees.

    Holy Sh1t!!

    There was a Cooper Dealer Closed in town. Called him up and a guy came in and Swapped the good tyre off the rooted rim on the door and got me back on the road. My camper was running 35s so I couldn't use that spare.

    The COOPER Dealer charged me $120 to swap the tyres over.

    The following day I called Cooper Australia. The delaminated tyre was date stamped and 4 years old. (Cooper offer 5 year warranty only, anything over 5 years is to old) happy days I thought?????

    No way!! "Obviously it's a different tread pattern to the rest of the car so has not been rotated with the other tyres and has cooked on the back door! Sorry sir we can't warranty that!" "What about the $120 your dealer charged me?" "Sorry sir no warranty. Would you like a free Hat?"

    Seriously!!! WTF!!!

    Never Ever will I buy a Cooper Tyre again! Ever.





    Would you like a free Hat? Not a Farking Chance mate!!! I will tell everyone I meet whenever I can to not buy your rubbish.

    Cooper Tyres are JUNK!

    So I guess they are covered if you are driving a vehicle for personal use on a perfect bitumen road surface.

    Been reading the warranty in all the big name's, mickeys , coopers, bfg etc. all read the same , none are covered if used offroad , and especially if run under inflated , ie aired down for beach , bush etc

    Yeah, gotta agree, I haven't seen any warranty better than another in the big names.

    Between myself and a couple of other mates we would have easily clocked up a couple of million K's on Coopers without an issue.
    Never been able to figure out why some people have horror runs and others don't.

    FWIW the best tyres I ever ran were Pro Comps and the worst were Kumho's
