Ah ha! I was not the only one!

One of the tires would just not hold air! The bead would not seal , even with bead sealer. It was as if the tire was porous.

Thanks for the heads up , I'll check on it tomorrow.

Here is what I found on-line.
Tire Recall
23 Newsroom

Cooper Tire and Rubber is recalling about 288-thousand replacement tires used on passenger cars and light trucks.

The tire maker says the recall was prompted by concerns about slow leaks and cracking in the tires -- a small portion of the 40 million tires it produces each year. Cooper says there have been no reported crashes or injuries linked to the recalled tires.

The models, used on pickups and S-U-Vs, include the Cooper Discoverer S/T, Dean Mud Terrain Radial S-X-T, Durango Radial X-T-R, Mastercraft Courser C/T, Dick Cepek Radial F-C II, Mesa C/T, Pro Comp Xtreme A/T and Tempra Trailcutter Radial R-T.

The tires used on passenger cars were made from November 2004 to July 2005 and include the Dean Alpha 365 A/S, Mastercraft A/S, Starfire Flite-line IV and Trendsetter SE.

Cooper Tire is also recalling more than three thousand models of the Cooper Zeon 2-X-S and Mastercraft Avenger Z-H-P because of cracking in the sidewall.

Oh snap!! I just got new Discoverer S/T's on my truck back in January. Do you think mine may be affected??

I wouldn't think so but, only the dealer can tell you. Yours may have made in that time period and was left sittong around.

I hope not for your sake.

Just as a reminder when you buy new tires they are supposed to have a registration form included for the tires. This form lists the serial # of each tire If you mail them in you will be on the database so if there is a tire recall you will be notified. I believe this is required for all tire manufacturers but I am sure it is done by cooper.

I had an old lady come into the service department this morning that heard about the recall on the news and thought her tires were under the recall. Apparently she thought Cooper was spelled C-o-n-t-i-n-e-n-t-a-l.

Cooper Tires Recall Update

[Feb. 15, 2006] Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. announced a Cooper Tire recall of about 288,000 replacement tires used on passenger cars and light trucks because of concerns about slow leaks and cracking in the tires. The Findlay, Ohio-based tiremaker said there have been no reported crashes or injuries linked to this Cooper tire recall. The recall represents a small portion of the 40 million tires it produces each year, the company said.
