Making Summer Road Trip Plans? NOW Is the Time to Get Your New Tires

I’ve got summer plans on the brain right now. I’m looking up fun things to do in the Phoenix area, and I’m also hoping to take my crew to the panhandle of Florida to enjoy those white sandy beaches!

You might be making your own summer plans, too. One of the items that you should definitely have on your list to take care of before hitting the road is making sure your tires are in good, working order. How’s the tread looking? It might be time to trade them out, and if so, the timing couldn’t be better because right now is the Cooper Tire Spring Event.

Cooper Tires has a great set of tires for every vehicle and for every budget. If you have an SUV or CUV, you’ll want to check out the Discoverer SRX, which has been noted as a best-in-class product. This particular type of tire comes in 30 sizes, so it fits a very wide selection of models. One of the things that makes it unique is the Wear Square, which is a visual tread life indicator, and is exclusive to this type of tire. There are six points of reference around the tire, and as the tire is worn, the shape will gradually change from a square to an exclamation point when the tread is low and it is time to replace them. Pretty clever, no? The squares can also signal uneven tire wear and possible wheel alignment issues. In addition, the Discoverer SRX comes with a 65,000-mile Tread Wear Protection Warranty, as well as a 45-Day Road Test guarantee. Cooper Tires is confident that you will love these tires, but they want you to feel confident that you will love them, too, which is why these guarantees and warranties are in place.

And no matter what type of vehicle you have, from now through April 15th customers at Cooper Tires are eligible to receive a prepaid Visa card worth up to $70 when purchasing a new set of four qualifying Cooper Tires. That can help you pay for gas for your road trip, and that $70 will actually go further than you might think because new tires = better gas mileage! You could also use the Visa gift card to help with the grocery tab when you arrive at your destination (we always make a trip to the grocery store while on vacation, do you?).

Even if your summer plans just involve relaxing in your own hometown, the winter we all just experienced was likely VERY harsh on your tires, so you should still take a close look at them and perhaps head in to your nearest Cooper Tires (here’s the Dealer Locator if you aren’t sure where to go!) to see if you can get a great set of tires for a great value.

Get Your Car Ready for The Most Wonderful Time of the Year (and Save BIG on Tires!)

October 2, 2014 · by Tiffany Merritt · Leave a Comment

This post brought to you by Cooper Tire. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Stuff Parents Need.

It’s October 2nd, friends. It’s officially the holiday season! I don’t mean that it’s time to bust out your red and green, but I do mean that the BIG 3 (Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas) are headed our way, and it’s time to get in a festive mood as we count down the days until each holiday arrives!

I always think of this week of the year as the week when I sit at the very top of the hill at the start of a roller coaster ride. It’s about to get fast and furious up in here, with every day going faster than the last, and the to do list growing longer with each passing hour.

October is really a critical month for my holiday happiness, you guys. The more I can get checked off my list this month, the more I can enjoy the holiday season and spend my time relaxing, baking, and making merry instead of stressing out.

So that means October is the perfect month to tackle some bigger, and even some more expensive projects that just need to get done, especially before it’s time for road trips or hosting company. One of those things is taking a good, hard look at the tires on your vehichle. We actually bought new tires a year ago, and had them rotated for the first time about 2 months ago, so we are good to go in this department.

But if you are like me, tires are something you think about approximately 0% of the time. So this is your friendly reminder that you need to stop for just a minute and think about how long it has been since you purchased new tires, had them rotated, or had them inspected for wear. You do NOT want a tire blow out on the way to grandma’s house on Thanksgiving Day (or any day, for that matter). You will be so glad that you took a few moments to take care of the wheels that take care of you every single day.

Now through October 31st, with the purchase of a new set of four qualifying Cooper tires at participating retail stores, you can get up to a $70 Visa prepaid card with your purchase. It’s all part of the Fall Reward Event. Here’s the full list of qualifying tires:

  • • Discoverer HTP*

If you are like me and have no clue which tires you need, the folks at Cooper Tires can help you make a great decision based on your vehicle make and model, your driving habits, and your budget. There’s a perfect set of tires for every vehicle and every family at Cooper Tires. And there’s a Visa gift card with your name on it. Think of the gift card as a reward for yourself for taking care of something important. Full details can be found at Coopertirerebates.com.

Need New Tires? Save Money, Win Big with Cooper Tires Spring Savings Event

April 11, 2014 · by Tiffany Merritt · Leave a Comment

This post brought to you by Cooper Tire. All opinions are 100% mine.

Tim and I purchased a new set of tires last fall, and I'm going to be totally honest with you: I thought it was one of the LEAST satisfying big ticket purchases I've ever made. I never really think about my tires (although obviously they are super useful…I use them every single day!). But since they aren't front of mind, when it is time to replace them, it can really just sting to have to fork over all that money.

If it is almost time for you to replace your tires, Cooper Tire actually has something fun going on that will make it MUCH more fun to buy that set of tires! Right now you can earn up to an $80 prepaid Visa back with your purchase of several different popular tire models. You can check out Cooper Tire Rebates for ore details to see what you could qualify for. Let me tell you, if I had at least been earning some cash back on my purchase last fall, I wouldn't have been as grumpy about it! 

#RollWithCooper $1000 Prize Pack Sweepstakes

Even if you aren't currently shopping for a new set of tires, you'll definitely want to head over to see Cooper Tire on Facebook, because they are having a sweepstakes! You can post favorite car travel memories there, and if you tag #RollWithCooper on Twitter or Instagram, you'll be entered for the grand prize, which is a gas card and some sweet Cooper merchandise by way of a $1000 prize pack! Hello, summer gas money!

So what would you do if you won free gas money for the next several months? Go on a big road trip? I'd take my crew down to Disney World, for sure (I know that sounds cliche, but I've got Mickey on the brain big time, and that gas money would sure help make it more feasible!). I'd also tuck away the savings for the next few months and put it in a tire fund, so that the next time we have to purchase tires, the money will waiting for us! That would DEFINITELY make me smile! 🙂
