“Tread separated from tire - resulting in extensive damage to truck this was the 2nd cooper tire on this truck to do this - but we found that problem before it came completely apart - I do not have the info on the earlier tire because I took it to my tire dealer and they replaced it with another tire - same kind. This tire was from the other side that came apart and did the extensive damage this time.”
