[QUOTE="Jeff C, post: 529497, member: 58631"] That was Firestone Wilderness A/T's. They're the ones that I was telling you about that my mom drove til my dad practically made her go back and have "safer" ones put on. That's why my tires have relatively good mileage on them. On a side note, I don't think it was as much the tires fault as the media made it out to be. People doing 90 while drunk or high swerving around, then having a blowout, cannot be blamed entirely on the tire. Sure there may have been some design flaws, but what doesn't have a few flaws? People didn't want to hear that they may not have been driving safely, and had some influence on the rollover. Knowing how to drive well, how to handle a blowout, and knowing not to overcorrect is a big part of it. I guess not going 95mph in an SUV/SUT/Truck would help too. [/QUOTE]
