When I bought the 1952 Willys Jeep M38A1, it had Cooper Discoverer light truck tires on it.
Nearly two years later, they're still in good shape and with no problems.
However, such is not the case with some Cooper light truck tires.
From RV Travel:
An estimated 430,000 light truck tires made by Cooper® Tires have been recalled because they can develop sidewall bulges that could lead to tire failure.
Certain Discoverer, Evolution, Courser, Deegan, Adventurer, Hercules, Back Country, Multi-Mile, Wild Country and Big O tires in several sizes are included in the recall.
The tires recalled were made between Feb. 1, 2018 and Dec. 1, 2019.
That's not all concerning Cooper Tires.

Also from RV Travel:
On Feb. 22, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. agreed to buy Cooper Tire & Rubber Company, a deal that seeks to combine the country’s two biggest tire manufacturers based in the U.S.
Goodyear said it will pay about $2.8 billion in cash and stock for its smaller rival. That will include $41.75 a share in cash for Cooper’s shares, which rose about 30% to $56.89 in afternoon trading. Goodyear’s shares increased 20% to $16.72.
