Consumer Description

THIS JUNE OF 2005 WHILE MY 92BMW325I WAS PARKED AT THE MALL, THE BACK PASSENGER TIRE I NOTICED BLEW UP. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO PIT STOP TO HAVE THE TIRE VULCANIZED, THEY SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING W/IT BUT BE REPLACED. I REPLACED IT AT SAM'S CLUB W/AP205/60R15H TOUR. I ASKED IF THE OTHER 3 TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED & THEY SAID "NO". LAST SUNDAY JUL 24 WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 26, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLEW UP & CAUSED A LOT OF DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE & FORTUNATELY SPARED ANY INJURY TO MY SON. I BOUGHT THESE 4 P205/60R15 OR 15-205/60-15GT COOPER COBRA TIRES FROM STROBEL TIRE CO. WE'RE STILL WAITING FOR OUR INSURANCE CO. TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. I READ ABOUT A LAWSUIT ABOUT COOPER TIRE SO I CALLED THE LAWFIRM HANDLING SUCH BUT THE PERSON I TALKED W/SAID THAT W/NO INJURY, IT WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE TO PURSUE A CASE SO SHE DIRECTED TO CALL 18883274236, HENCE THIS COMPLAINT.
