PURCHASED 4 COOPER EVOLUTION TOUR ALL SEASON TIRES (225 50 17 94V). DOT U940 1LT 4119 IN NOVEMBER 2019. TIRES DO NOT MAINTAIN AIR PRESSURE. TIRES REQUIRE MORE AIR WITHIN 2-4 DAYS. SIDEWALLS BULGE WHEN FULLY INFLATED CAUSING TIRES TO LOOK UNDER INFLATED BUT LOSE AIR PRESSURE IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. ALSO, ROLLING EFFECT WHEN TURNING CORNERS AT LIGHT TO MODERATE SPEEDS. PLEASE PROVIDE GUIDANCE ON WHAT TO DO TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. MOST RECENT INCIDENT NOTED IN APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE RELATED TO LOST OF AIR PRESSURE
1) I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY US 35 GOING WEST BOUND WHERE MY REAR PASSENGER TIRE BLEW OUT RIGHT BEFORE THE 75 OVERPASS. 2) PASSENGER REAR TIRE BLEW OUT. A 2 INCH ABRASION ON THE SIDE WALL. 3) I BOUGHT A NEW TIRE AND REPAIRED MY RIM.
Cooper Tire Evolution 245/65R17 - Tire Tread Separation - the entire tread out layer came off of the driver side front tire while driving on the freeway - the tire was not deflated - the entire tread hit the driver side mirror breaking it completely off - hitting driver window and deploying all airbags on driver side of the vehicle. The tire itself still was fully aired and full circle entire outer layer of tread was off of the tire. Caused vehicle damage - Personal Injury
Drivers side rear tire blew out while coming to stoplight at approx 15 -20 MPH. No prior warning message If this had happened at highway speed it could have caused injury or death. There was no impact to the tire prior to blowout. We are retaining tire for inspection and are afraid to continue using the remaining 3 tires. We purchased 4 tires new from Tire Kingdom in Fort Myers Fl (#6309 #39) when our vehicle had 15049 miles on it.

Cooper evolution tour: what the numbers tell you
The Evolution Tour's UTQG treadwear rating of 580 puts it in the long-wear class. Its compound is engineered for life over outright grip, which is appropriate for an everyday touring tire. No mileage warranty is published for this tire, which is typical for performance summer and track-day rubber where the manufacturer doesn't make wear-life claims.
Cabin noise data for this tire is not published by the manufacturer. As a all-season tire built for the truck-suv segment, the Evolution Tour is positioned against direct rivals within the same category. Comparing it to a tire in a different category (e.g. summer vs all-season) makes the spec sheet misleading because the design targets are not the same.
