Yeah, I never bought into that whole Firestone thing. Explorers were coming with underinflated tires from the dealerships... and we all know how well the general public maintains their cars.
Firestone just got owned by a bunch of idiots with underinflated tires on over-loaded SUVs that were already prone to crashing.
