the reason behind the firestone failure on the explorer was pretty complex, from what a professor who helped on the case said... ford tested the explorer and found that it was too heavy, so they had firestone take some weight off the tires, which came off the sidewall.. then they discovered with the lighter tires it had a tendancy to roll.. so to lower the center of gravity, they lowered the PSI recommended for the tires.. which resulted in more sidewall wear.. which lead to tread separation

I love the thinking..."this 5300lb. truck is too heavy, shave some rubber off those tires"Originally Posted by etlsport
They'd have saved more weight tossing out a floor mat. Idiots. I'm afraid Ford, as we know it, is doomed.

If God gave it four wheels....... does it make sense to only use two?

LOL...I agree, my first wife had a granada POS, nuff said.
Though on the other side of the coin, I had a 70 Mustang that was great.

My first car was a Ford Probe 2nd gen, i say was because it ended with nine feet of flames bellowing out of the hood, however i won an award because of it for having the best excuse for being late to school
