| Description of the problem | In regards to cooper tires the manufacturer info and dot number to follow. I have had two tires with failure to the radial belt shift. One tire blew out on a trip to texas, i do not have it, but the tow truck driver said it had a "bulge" and failed. Under stressful conditions on a highway i did not take a picture. The second tire failed locally and i have kept the tire and can send a pic and also have a statement on the receipt from where i purchased the vehicle that had put the tires on saying it was a "belt shift" there is a prominent "bulge" in the tire. I had originally contacted cooper tires julie call ref # 23-167554 on 9/23/20 11:02 am, regarding the defective tires and they denied knowledge or responsibility and told me to take the vehicle back to where i bought it which was nissan auto nation because they were under warranty. Auto nation pamela carter said on 9/24/20 they that they will not honor the warranty due to the fact they purchased the tires and i purchased the vehicle after the tires were installed so i was not the purchaser. They do admit the tire was defective, which i have in writing on invoice 1236567. I looked online for the dot number for recall and it is listed online but the manufacturer as bridgestone, which is possibly a typographical error. Here is the info: dot u94c 1cw 0715 cooper m+s 235/60r16 grand touring |
