New tires and new 'wobble'

As of 6/13/2013 the deal was finalized that turned over ownership of Cooper Tires to Indian company Apollo Tyre. In 2003 Cooper started making numerous deals with Kenda and other Chinese companies. Most of these deals consisted of co-development of Chinese tire and rubber products factories. When you read the Cooper history as provided on Wiki it appears that their tire manufacturing moved offshore in the mid 2000's.

I was being nice when I said their quality started down a couple years ago. It actually started down about 5-6 years ago and today, you would be hard pressed to find many if any transportation companies running Cooper tires in any position of their equipment.
