Cracks on Rims.

[Mark]

I just noticed the other day my cooper rims have a few cracks.

In fact 2 of the rims have cracks and the tyre inside had a split all the way up the middle.

Anyone else seen this?

Also, had a chat to my mechanic about this whole Cooper story the other day and apparently some people have put through claims for this whole soft compound conspiracy floating around the web.

Apparently you can get back the percentage of how much tread is left.

One guy "apparently" got back $90 (woopy doo) as he had bugger all tread left but could be worth investigating if anyones having issues.

I just bought a set of BF's off Ebay last week. Back to the ol BF's!

I don't like the sound of that mate? I sure am glad your replacing them & lets face it you won't go to far wrong with BF's.

No not at all mate.

Just spoke to the local tyrepower guys, apparently the rep for Coopers is seeing two other people next week about this same issue and i have booked him in to see my tyres.

It'll be interesting to see what he says about this.

Ill let you all know what happens.

Good to hear you've gone back to the BF's mark They've always done me well.
Had a set of ST's on a work truck and have never had so many flats on any other brand of tyre.
Seems funny how the only good things I have heard about them comes from reps, whereas when you talk to people who use them the general feeling is pretty piss poor!

Well the plot thickens.

Still havent seen the rep from Coopers yet but I just booked the misses GU wagon in for a service today and my mechanic just found a crack on her rim as well.

Front LH wheel.

Interesting.

If anyone else has coopers here have a good look at your rims and see if there's any cracks.

Would be interesting to see if anyone has cracks....Cheers
