While summer was a time of road trips and leisurely vacations, fall means back to school and back to business for you and your car. I use my car more between September and December than I do any other time of the year. Between all the back to school shopping and re-shopping (for all the stuff I forget), the holidays and planning for said holidays, me and my car spend a lot of time together. Then, of course, there’s stocking up for the inevitable first snow storm that buries my poor car! Car Snow Let me tell you, you need good tires to get out of that mess! After that incident last winter where my tire blew and left Sal and I stranded in the frigid cold for hours, I’m a lot more careful about my tires than I was in the past.

I think I am actually due for new ones because I had a bit of a flat last month. We used that stuff to fix the flat and it worked out okay, but I’m just so scared that something will happen again that I really feel like I should just replace them entirely.

Cooper Tire Fall Rebate Event

Fortunately, now is a great time to buy new tires with the Cooper Tire Fall Rebate Event happening! Now through October 31st, 2015, I can receive a prepaid Visa card worth up to $70 when I buy a new set of four qualifying Cooper tires through participating dealers. That’s on top of the already great everyday prices!

Our roads get pretty slick in the winter, so having good tires is a must.  I’m checking out the Cooper CS5 Touring tires. They’re designed for everyday life situations and everyday drivers, like me! I don’t know about you, but in my area, my everyday driving involves a lot of braking and swerving to miss these beauties in the fall (that’s my road they’re hanging out next to!):

The CS5 Touring comes with Cooper’s exclusive Wear Square, located at six points around the inside and outside of the tread. As your tire ages and wears down, the square changes shape. Eventually, it becomes an exclamation point, which means you should head out and get some new Cooper Tires asap. It also alerts you to issues with your alignment.

I also think it’s time for my mom to get a new set for her SUV. The Discoverer SRX would be ideal for her, since they’re designed specifically for SUVs and CUVs. With 30 different sizes, I’m certain they’ll have one to fit her car. Plus it has that neat Wear Square too. Cropped_7131ee5a-de69-4fe4-ae04-cfb994b1735f

Both come with a premium  65,000-mile Tread Wear Protection Warranty and a 45-Day Road Test guarantee  so you can make sure you’re getting a smooth ride. If you don’t love them, you can return them to your original dealer within 45 days of purchase for a FREE OF CHARGE Cooper brand replacement only, including mounting and balancing.

If you happen to be an off-roader, check out the  Cooper Discoverer STT Pro. Yep, they even have tires dedicated to people who love to take their trucks off the beaten path! Me? I stick to the roads. I have a hard enough time crossing traffic without a light. I’m not brave enough to go it without the yellow lines.

Are you ready to replace your tires? Head to the Dealer Locator and find a Cooper Tire dealer near you. Then head in and take advantage of the great Cooper Tire Fall Rebate Event!
