    The one from 30 years ago with the Explorers?

    Destination ATs from Firestone are mighty fine tires

    I thought this was a Ford problem, more than a Firestone problem. I guess I don't really recall the details, though.

    Oh there will be some mods all right
    If you look it up Goodyear is actually known for some deaths and injuries as well. The tires that they were putting on RVs were bad

    I don't even try anymore. A good rain will clean them enough for me

    Edit: They won't stay clean long anyway...

    Yup, 100% Ford problem. Ford told customers to run them under Firestone specified pressure, creating excessive heat and failure. IIRC, it was multiple agencies that found Ford at fault.
