Like many, I've tried to see which tire company makes quality. Safety, hassle, you know.
https://recallinfo.ustires.org/TireRecallSearch/ListRecalls/60
has the list of tire recalls for the last 5 years.
Cooper tires (aka Cooper, Mastercraft, Avon, Cornell, Futura, Roadmaster, Vanderbilt, Starfire sub-brand names) make the list way too many times.
Continental makes the list a little too often, and I have a bad personal experience with them a few years ago, in a Continental class action lawsuit, so I know they are capable of messing up big-time.
Other tire brands are on the list, but I wouldn't say its too many times for the rest.
Just Cooper & Continental are on my "do not buy" list right now.
Rule: Any car company that starts with a "C" is banned.
I wonder why Kumho, Hankook, and some of the other brands you might think would show up are not there?
I just got a set of Kumho Ecsta 4X II tires for cheap, made in Korea and they seem to be of decent quality.
