you are sooo right... I work for firestone.. remember those bad tires that were involved with the ford explorer rollover accidents... most of those codes on the tires had reflected badly on firestone... many were made during the time when firestone was on strike,made by management and replacement workers.. but it was to ford specifications... so they were to blame also... there is much more to it than I can say... the repercussions are huge...and won't come out til the tires made by inexperienced workers finally get into circulation... millions of tires that are not safe could be on the road... maybe not on your car, but what about the guy next to you? if he blows a tire and loses control, do you want him plowing into the passenger side of your minivan... where your child is seated? neither do they... it is a huge concern, for everyone... think about it, how many people will have to die before a money hungry company is forced into a recall?... just a thought....
