More tire recalls

The common thread here seems to be Cooper.

NHTSA Campaign ID Number: 10T004


Synopsis:
Hercules has notified NHTSA about a defect in certain Hercules Terra Trac SUV tires, size 245/70R17, produced between November 15 and December 12, 2009. These tires fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 139, "New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles." At various mileages, the subject tires may develop and exhibit tread chunking or cracking in the tread shoulder area. Tread chunks may separate from the tire casing resulting in body damage to the vehicle or the driver may lose control resulting in a crash. Hercules will notify owners and replace the tires free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during March 2010. Owners may contact Cooper Tire Customer Relations toll-free at 1-800-854-6288 or Hercules at 1-419-425-6400.

All value tires so I guess you get what you pay for. BTW my Cooper STT's have held up very well and know of many other using Copper tires without any problems.
