No warranty on Cooper tyres above the Tropic of Capricorn.

Maybe Diamond can help here, I think theres no warranty out of metro area, he is in Bendigo, and theres none there..

Could be wrong.

They are scrapping the tire warranty thing soon anyway.

Just went down the path, No Warranty out side of capital/metro areas. Bought them anyway.

In FNQ I was told that you get the warranty if you live down south and it covers you even when you travel up north...

BUT if you live up here then no warrranty.

Thanks for your replies folk's. I bought a set even without the warranty anyway. It's my first try at the coopers so it will be interesting to see how they hold up. I got the 255/85R16's and they are on my Chev Suburban so it will be intereseting to see if they can handle the weight.

Cheers

gday john.
as truckster said im in bendigo wich is about 2hrs from melb and there is no waranty.
the waranty they are talking about is a milage waranty is the tyre fails through something like a sepo there is still a waranty covering that.dont panic there a fantastic tyre i do sell them but i aslo use them.—~‘¬‘¥•s’B

Why would you bother, coopers are way overpriced for what they are. You can get 100K out of most good tyres if you treat em right.

they started to seperate along the beed

now running coopers at the moment
and when time comes im back to toyo's GONE WOOP-WOOP

I have a set of Cooper ST's and done side wall damage to them on atrip up thru the Callawa track which is on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert. Both the Retailer "Tyre Power" and Cooper tyres were very simpathethic I got all 5 tyres replaced for significantly reduced cost. I wil be buying them again.

Ihave just taken 1 tyre back to the dealer after tread seperation and had it replaced no questions asked

After reading about warranty concerns re Cooper tyres, my mate went and enquired at our local dealer and this is what happened:

We run on a set of Cooper Discoverer S/T's purchased new from our local Tyre Power outlet. not wishing to quote the manager here is my understanding of what he told me today regarding the kilometre warranty. (Iwas also shown the paperwork that supported this)

Cooper Tires (US spelling) say that "The milage warranty is available only from authorised Cooper dealers in capital cities (Conditions apply)"
This statement appears on Cooper specification sheets. For the warranty to be honoured by Cooper, this breaks down to the following points:
1. you must purchase the tyres from an authorised Cooper dealer in a capital city. (Our dealer thinks this means you must reside in the capital too)
2. the tyres must be rotated every 10,000 kms by the authorised dealer which will include balancing and wheel alignment. User pays of course.
3. if the tyres don't reach the guarenteed kms and you have done all the right things according to the warranty conditions, then Cooper may provide you with a pro-rata credit for the portion of wear you have not received. eg if 80,000 kms was the guarantee and wear-out occurs at 70,000kms, then you may be in line for credit of 1/8th of the wholesale price!!! Seems tyres would have to perform badly for this to be any real benefit to the user.
If you purchased your tyres outside a captial city, as I did, it might be in you best interest to go and discuss this with your dealer. I did and I haven't been deserted by my dealer!!! The personal chat was very much to our benefit and hope others will get a similiar result from their dealers. Worth a try!!!

l read with interest all the comments on the Cooper tyres. Recently we returned from a trip which covered the Tanimi, Oonadatta, Gibb River, Cape Leveque and Savanh roads. One of our Cooper Discoverer St started to lose chunks of tread and in one case it came off doen to the wire. On our return l went to an authorised dealer who told me that the tyres are not covered by "impact damage" an as such l would have to pay for a new tyre. As it was a safety issue l replaced the tyre at my cost but was not happy. I then followed up with the Cooper distributor hear and he proceeded to explain to me that even though he had not seen the tyre it was obvious that l was not running the tyres at the correct pressure for the road conditions and the weight that l was carrying. This is not bad as l had only discussed this issue over email and a short phone call. I asked him at what pressure should l run my tyres and he said that the company would not reccommend a pressure as they would be held liable and that it was up to me. After surfing the web, l found numerous people making different statements in regards to tyre pressure but none would none would say exactly and that it was up to the user. Now this sounds like a "Catch 22" situation, l am not a novice at 4wd but then again l am not as experienced as some, so in my opinion when one tyre fails so badly and the other three only suffer normal tyre wear it appears that it is a failure. Just to end this conversation the closing comment by the person from Cooper who l was talking to said "we this has be an expensive lesson for me", not really what l needed to hear.

warranty's apply to manufacturing faults only!!
if it blows cos you ran over a rack...then bad luck...

If you run under inflated and it peels apart...bad luck again...its not the manufacturers fault but you might just be able to make a false claim if they dont look close enough.

If you run at correct pressures etc etc then you'd have a claim...al pro rata of course

doubt it very much if they could restrict the tyre warranty to capital cities as such....lets face it they are a 4wd tyre and 4wd's go off road....
Wow! am I cute
