needed a tire opinion?

[klatshaw]

Like Explorers rolling over after they blow-out, and killing everyone on board?? I've heard a few things about Firestone too....That's why they were dropped by Ford...their oldest supporter.

The Were not Dropped buy ford Idiot and the tires Where not the cause Theres always one ***#### on every board I own a Vx and thought this site had some Interesting and SMART people. That was just a suggestion on a tire I own and was a very affordable and I like the tire look. Do your research first Ford has been Begging Bridgestone to come back those tires were on Many other types of SUV's why was the Explorer the only one with this issue look at Most High end Vehicles today and I believe you will find BridgestoneFirestone Brands on alot more then you might think and FORD has Made alot of great choices lately havent they!! Chopper you should Buy stock in Ford,

Wow. I don't know you, but I'm pretty sure that Chopper has contributed more to this community than most of us here, and so deserves to be heard and respected.

Fact is, Ford (sadly) has a long history of cutting corners to save a buck. Pinto. Wilderness AT. Exploding Crown Vics. I'm sure there's more.
In the 90's, if you didn't get Firestones on your Ford, you got Generals. Another craptacular choice.

The Firestone M/Ts do look nice, and I like that fact that they are pinned for studs, but the stigma remains, and I will never, ever buy a set.
Nor will I put my family in an Explorer.

Bridgestone is a whole 'nother organization. I run Blizzaks on the truck in the winter (6 of 'em -ouch!), and most of our company trucks run Bridgestone commercials or AT Revos up and down the Dalton Highway (aka the worst road in America) all summer.

I give Bridgestone 2 thumbs up, but Firestone (and Ford, by association) get two different fingers.

For pure bang-for-the-buck tires though, I've found myself going to Dunlop more and more.
SP901s on my old WRX, Sport 9000s on the ML55, M/Ts on the Ironman.
In fact, my affair with Dunlop began 10 years ago when I replaced the General AmerTracs on my FORD F250 with a set of M/Ts. So, I guess that I can thank Ford - a little.

Bridgestone and Firestone are One Company and Duelers and Destinations are same Compounds and Constructions Just different tread patterns and other very minut things and Chopper I felt he was giving Me no respect for a Opinion thats all it was a Opinion and Bring Death and Rollovers to a Conversation about Tires I felt as if he was insulting my Opinion..Deserves RESPECT Just cause you contribute If it's worthless and insulting info why Respect that? Dunlop is a good tire owned Buy Goodyear It's their Middle brand then Sumitomo all Tire manufactures have that High Mid Low brands the Old Best Better Good sales pitch

Ford stock is like 4 bucks a pop last time I checked.....Thinking about purchasing myself. But there are reports that Ford will be bought out as a whole company by a Korean car company.....

Yeah, I'm the idiot.....that's why you gotta pick thru your post, like a Chinese puzzle to get a hint of where you are going. Run your crap on all the Firestone stuff you want....good luck, and I hope it works out for you. By the way you attack the language, I can assume a Grand roadside memorial will be built for you where you expire....complete with a giant cross, Teddy Bears, balloons, and photos of your entire genetic line. Uhhh no one is begging for Bridgestone/ Firestones...most here didn't even bother to wear their's out before they replaced them.....They are that good! Almost no one replaced them with Bridgestones....except YOU! You sir, are in a classless class all of your own....but you will always be an enigma in my mind. By the way....Ford stock has been in the single digits for months now.....they can't sink much lower. Now would be the time to buy.
