lol either way, the tyres were faulty.. wether they had less air pressure or not.. tyres are meant to be designed to not blow out, as ther are millions of people who dont check the air pressure on ther cars between having them serviced.. firestone = fail for that one.. but i do think that all car companies should have also put the word out to have the tyres recalled, if they really do care about safety, firestone and car companies should have acted sooner.
@chase2187 So much talking out of your ass.. Ford gave tire specification to Firestone and they accepted. However, the Ford Explorer wasn't meant for those specs and needed something of heavier duty. This means it's Ford fault for not doing their engineering job (same tire on another vehicle = 800% drop in thread separation)
@Dredhawk10 Well the tire had manufacturing problems and was cheaply made but Ford was still at fault the Explorer was a total piece of shit and has the weakest roof in its class and the worst stability in its class the point is in the same situation with the same tire on a different vehicle in the Explorers class it either would not have rolled over or if it did the roof structure would have held up although it does not hold true for every vehicle in Explorers class
@FantomLightning LOL total forgot i post a comment hear. anyways it doesn't matter much now cant change the past all we can do is look to the future and hope we don't repeat the same stupid mistakes. but were Human so we proble will.
Hi - I have a school project related to this case - can you tell me where you found the original abc news report? Thanks!

the problem was they wernt inflated to the right pressure i had the same tires go 100k miles on a 3/4 ton truck with no problems

@killdac the tires on your truck were not the same size that were on the explorers. and you more than likely had a ten ply rating as well.

That bull it was the ford explorer not the Wildness AT an tires that under-inflated will probably blow. Ford recommend 26 PSI that way to low.
