2005 Toyota Corolla Tires Problems

“I have been a big proponent of cooper tires due to their manufacturing processes. I've since changed my mind due to the 3 blow outs we've had with the cs4 touring (2) and now most recent cs5 grand touring line. The cs5 tires were purchased less than a year ago. All have been on the sidewall and all have been on the freeway going at highway speeds. It appears cooper tires does not care about people lives! Obviously quality is not one of their core values. Try being in traffic on the freeway and having a blow out those are the consequences. Fortunately nobody was hurt just extremely scared. …”

“I have purchased a set of 4 hankook optima 727 all season tires on 12/08/09. These are rated for 100,000 miles and I have done about 15,000 miles. Until recently I considered them excellent but in november and most recently I have found them skidding on wet surfaces at relatively low speeds 25-35 MPH. On a patch of ice there was skidding at around 10 MPH. I did hit the curb. The road grip seems worse than other all season tires I have used. The tires have been inspected and the pressure tested. There has been no blowout, puncture or shredding, but your site allows no other category.”

“My wife was driving a 2005 Toyota Corolla with manual transmission on a dirt road at slow speed. Right wheels got in soft dirt, car skidded, she braked and tried to steer out of skid. The car turned around backwards, slid to almost a stop, slowly rolled on to left side, then on roof. Car was totaled, she was not injured. We at first assumed rollover occurred because braking during skid caused the engine to die locking the front wheels causing loss of control. However this does not explain why the car rolled at such a slow speed. Roll occurred on fairly level ground. …”

“I have a 2005 Toyota Corolla and it has toyo brand tires on it. The tires have 7/32 tread depth which is 70% of the new 10/32 tire tread depth. While driving from south austin to san antonio (70 miles) the tread and belts separated from the carcass of the tire with bare metal wires showing where there once was tread. …”

“Tire valves on all 4 tires failed within a 2 month period. Tires were yokohama avid t4 and were fitted by prestige Toyota on december 9, 2006. Tire 1 failed on june 24th 2008 on garden state parkway, nj. Tire was not recoverable due to us having to drive almost 1 mile on the tire to get to a safe area to pull over. It was replaced that day mavis discount tires in nanuet ny. Tire 2 failed on july 10 on the george washington bridge in nj. As we had to drive over the bridge to safely pull over the tire was not recoverable. It was replaced next day by mavis discount tires in nanuet ny. …”
