The company says the tires can run under-inflated.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says Cooper Tire
is recalling several models of tires.
Company leaders say these tires can lose air pressure causing them
to run under-inflated which can cause them to wear prematurely.
Cooper Tire will replace the affected tires free of charge. If you
have any questions, contact the company at (800) 854-6288.
