Purchased set of 4 Cooper CS5 Ultra Touring 195/65R1591H tires on 26 Jun 2026 @ 48,847 miles on the odometer. Three of the tires had the same serial number of U9AE1CR2622, with the 4th of U9AE1CR4822. Brought car in for service on 20 Oct 2025 @ 65,340 due to a slow leak on the rear passenger and was informed the rear passenger and front driver tires had tread separation and needed replacing. The tires both had a serial number of U9AE1CR2622. Tires were replaced. 15 Aug 2026, the front driver tire (the remaining tire with the U9AE1CR2622 serial number; it had been rotated to that position during the 20 Oct 2025 service) the tire pressure indicator light came on and discovered a slight (~7 psi) drop and aired up to correct pressure. However the tread appears rounded as apposed to flat across like the other tires and have confirmed the tread has separated. The car is driven moderately on paved roads and does not sit for extended periods of times. The tread depth is still quite deep. I expected much more out of these tires and do not plan on buying Cooper again. I believe the Cooper CS5 Ultra Touring 195/65R1591H tires (and perhaps more specifically, the U9AE1CR2622 batch) is defective and dangerous.

The tire had a blowout on the inside of the tire close to the inner rim. No road debris has been experienced on the trip on 71 N from Columbus to Cleveland. The blowout occured at around 10 PM Saturday (5/13/2023) A tire should not have an inner wall rupture unless the tire has a defect. This tire only has about 9,000 mille of use prior to this situation. Tire Info.Firestone Firehawk 215/45R17 XL91V 50,000 Mile.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TOYOTA COROLLA EQUIPPED WITH FIRESTONE 740 TIRES, SIZE: 215/45/R17. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES WERE ONLY AT 32 PSI, WHICH CAUSED THE SIDEWALL TO FAIL AND TOUCH THE PAVEMENT. THE MAXIMUM PSI, ACCORDING TO THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL, WAS 32 PSI; HOWEVER, THE TIRES HAD A PSI OF 51. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE PRESSURE WAS 32 PSI AND NO MORE. THE DEALER WOULD NOT INFILTRATE ANY MORE TIRE PRESSURE BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT TO BE LIABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE TIRES AT HIS EXPENSE WITH 205/55/16R. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE OF THE TIRE AND VEHICLE WAS 25. THE VIN AND DOT NUMBER WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
