From Tire Review
 
The NHTSA has recalled 1,492 Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. Wild Country Radial XTX Sport 265/65R18 tires. The affected tires, manufactured June 1 to June 28, may experience cracking and broken ply cords in the lower sidewall on the intended outboard side above the rim.
 
If the tire experiences cracking or broken ply cords, this will increase the risk of a tire blowout and the risk of a vehicle crash, reports the NHTSA.
 
Cooper will notify owners of the recall, which began in August. According to the NHTSA recall, dealers will inspect and test the suspected tires, and replace the ones that need to be replaced, free of charge. Owners may contact Cooper customer service at 1-800-854-6288.

The Purge Flushing & Filling the Coolant

If there’s any doubt to the importance of a coolant flush, let there be none. Simply put, engine coolant is a chemical. As it breaks down, it becomes increasingly acidic, leading to eventual corrosion on all the metal, plastic and rubber parts in the system.

The most misleading part is the color. Just because it may still look new doesn’t mean it acts that way. By the time coolant loses its nice hue and turns brown and rusty, it’s already years past what the service interval should have been, and it’s doing some serious damage to the cooling system. This is why it’s important to flush coolant at regular intervals.
