Federal tests showed a bad sidewall design on the tires that caused the sidewalls to blow out. learn your facts before you spout it as gospel.
the tires in question were LT tires with a psi rating of 45 , the factory ford cold psi was 35 front and 33 rear. no where near the tires limits at all.
"The report went on to indicate that Ford also had a major role in the problems stating that The Ford Motor Company had instructed Firestone to add a nylon ply to the tires it manufactured in Venezuela for additional strength and that Ford had made suspension changes to the Explorer model available in Venezuela. Ford did not specify adding the nylon ply for U.S.-made Firestone tires nor did it change the Explorer suspension on US models at this time"
Hmmmmmmm......
