Cooper Recalls Tyres

Cooper Tire is recalling several models of tyres in the US according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

There is a concern that the tyres affected could lose air pressure causing them to run under-inflated and to wear prematurely says an American news source.

Up to 50,000 of its tyres may be unsafe says the NHTSA. The recall effects the following tyres: Trendsetter SE, Mastercraft A/S IV, Dean Alpha 365 A/S and Starfire Flite-Line IV Tires sizes P195/70R14 AND P185/65R14.

Cooper is offering to replace the affected tyres, which were manufactured between 21November 2004 and 14May 2005, free of charge.
