BFGoodrich or Cooper?

[midwest]

I would have to dig up and see the exact model on the tires qA. I do know the two that were worn were NOT on the same axle. The journey was a 2012 and for us it was not a money pit at all. We had one issue with the tranny that was fixed under warranty but that is it. As a matter of fact my daughters best friend is still driving it today and has about 160K miles on it.
I do not know anything about alignment process at tire barn. I just know tire barn was able to show them the most recent result from the alignment and the history of the rotations. Cooper could have been blowing me a line of crap but they admitted after seeing the documentation that it was an issue with the tire, that is why they agreed to warranty the tires. The problem was they were only going to rive me 140.00 but that was only if I purchased 4 brand new tires.

Raised white letters in, Cooper. Raised white letters out BF’s. I’ve always preferred RWL‘s inboard. IMHO

I understand your frustration, im pretty sure there is something in the law about that kind of warranty practice.. it sounds illegal
Anyway, did your journey have a properly working TPMS setup?
Based on your observation, it sounds like to me you maybe had 2 tires losing air (The TPMS will not flag you until way too much PSI is lost) and those sensors arent even that accurate.
Then the tires got rotated apart from eachother
Then being on different axle, they accelerated wear by being the ones already at a disadvantage. Just a thought

This is because the “issue” you experienced was almost certainly not a fault of the tires themselves being defective.

Ill step out of this conversation. I wasn't trying to start a war. I was just bringing up the fact that I bought 60,000 mile tires and before 20,000 miles there was an issue. They agreed with me there was an issue and told me they would warranty the tires, which I was initially pleased with. Until they told me the warranty is pro rated and I had to buy 4 new tires in order to get the warranty on the two tires. They told me the two new tires would be larger in diameter compared to the 2 good tires on my car and they would not allow me to just get 2 new tires under warranty, due to it being an AWD vehicle.
I have no idea how tire warranties typically work, and this may be normal. If so, so be it. At the time I was angry because I had spent a good amount of money on a new set of tires and a year later the answer was to buy another set at the same price and I would get 140.00 back. There might as well not be a warranty on the tires.

no no you are okay, its not a war. Personally I am more suspicious of your shop than i am of you or cooper. now that they are owned by goodyear(Many brands are surprisingly) we will see if they change things or if they keep the course of an otherwise good tire overall (especially their grand touring all seasons , AT3 line AT, and snow tires)
Im not up on their HT tires for larger vehicles or performance tires to know if they are good. I hear the cooper cobra
