“I have had three sets of cooper zeon 2xs 215/45zr17. There have been problems with all three sets. I was traveling long distance when my rear drivers side tire came apart and rolled away while I was on the on ramp for i24 which IS a very busy major highway. I was probably going about 35 MPH at the time this occurred. There was approximately $1250 worth of damage to my car not including replacing my tire which I will never buy these type of tires ever again. Also, this delayed my trip to visit my grandmother who was dying in the hospital at the time. …”
