I have owned my Ford Explorer since 1996 and have had no problem with the Firestone tires that came with the car, or the replacements I bought, or the replacements Firestone gave me last October. And now, Ford Motors have given up on Firestone and they just gave me still another new set of Michelin tires. Now, if they could only space the recalls to be separated by about 40,000 miles, I could have a free ride for a long time. Happiness is a new set of tires.............
