Customer Care closed on Saturday.
I’ll call Monday.
One DOT is 3519 and the other three are 4019
So they certainly fall with in the time frame.

Please tell me more. Goodyear is on my shitlist from that crap they pulled awhile back.

What crap was that? I don't recall hearing about a Goodyear scandal.

Went woke back in August. Here is the 8 page thread.

Huh. So many companies are getting woke and sticking their noses into shit that has absolutely nothing to do with their business. Including, unfortunately, my own employer. 7 months from now I'll have 20 years in with them. I hope I can hold my nose and stick it out until then. Retirement is sounding better and better all the time.

Returning to the OP, I took my flat Cooper to the tire store today. Nothing wrong with the tire, it failed because the chrome-plated rim developed some corrosion around the bead and it broke loose. They cleaned up the edge of the rim and remounted and balanced the tire, no charge. They also pulled the other three and dunked them in a water tank to see if they were leaking any air around the beads, so far so good. When it comes time to replace these tires I'm going to replace the rims too. They also checked with Cooper and said that the Discoverer ATPs in the size I have (245-70R16) are not one of the problem tires, so they should be good - rims notwithstanding - until the tread wears out.

Interestingly, the spare tire on the truck, which I assume is original, is a 265-70R16. So somebody sometime during the truck's life before it came to me, put on some smaller tires and crappy plated rims.

So I am good.
17” AT3s are not part of the recall.
