If they came out with saying it was a design fault, they would have to recall all of the exploders. For awhile there, they were saying how safe it was.

I believe that we will see this ordeal again in another year or so. After the new tires get a few miles on them, they will start to fail again.

Is that after they run you over? Most of the drivers think they are sport cars.

I hate it when they're infront of you, but I think some look cool. I had almost considered one

 

I just read that Firestone is doing it's own testing to prove to the government that it is the explorer. I would be just as mad if I was them.

Is Firestone a Japanese company?

 

Firestone was an American company that was purchased by a Japanese company, Bridgestone.

Firestone brand tires are generally manufactured in the USA, and Bridgestone brand tires sold in the USA (until recently) were generally manufactured in Japan.
