Solved the Firestone problem back in the 70's.

Simply refused to accept delivery of a new company car if it had
Firestone tires on it.

So you were not a Ford man? ;~)


Basically, everybody in the district did the same thing.

During that time if you bought a new vehicle you could take it to a BFG
dealer and they would replace what ever brand tire it had for free.


Can't comment on Bridgestone.

I steer clear of Bridgestone too.

I have the best luck with Michelin, Dunlop, and Falkin.
