A massive recall of some 442,000 tires sold under a variety of popular brand names could affect over 100,000 vehicles and their drivers. The tires, which were made by Cooper but sold under other brand and store names as well, are the subject of a pair of separate recalls, both having to do with defects in the sidewall which can lead to the tires quite literally tearing apart. That's pretty much the worst thing you can have happen when you're driving your car, short of a crash.
As the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration explains in new bulletins, the Cooper tires were sold with either Cooper branding or the name of one of 8 other companies. This complicates things a bit since each brand likes to then rename the model of the tire to fit their own marketing needs. A tire model might be sold to a customer as the Cooper Discoverer, but when bought through Pep Boys, the model is called the Adventurer.
