GMC and Cooper Tires, A Great Combination

1990 GMC pick up truck
My husband and I inherited a 1991 GMC pickup when my grandpa died, 8 years ago.
The truck had 50,000 miles on it and sad looking tires (dry rotting, constantly going flat, etc.). We took it in to a family owned tire store in Monticello, Arkansas and got some 15" Cooper tires put on it.
With the exception of a roofing tack incident 2 years ago, we've had no problems with the tires.
Eight years and 72,000 miles later, including 2 vacations, both (the truck and the tires) are going strong.
We will definately buy more Cooper tires for the truck whenever it does need new ones.
(Editor's comment: This is evidence that the recent flurry of TV reports about "over-aged" tires being dangerous simply isn't true all the time. Manufacturers guarantee new tires 5 or 6 years in order to put some limit on their liability, but that doesn't mean the tires will fail, just because the guarantee has expired.)
