<br/><br/> "What a mess. Ford Motor decides no Firestone Wilderness AT tires are safe, and is replacing all 13 million of them still on its Explorers and other trucks, free, in an unprecedented move. Bridgestone/Firestone says its tires are safe, and the problem is that Ford has faulty trucks, gives bad advice about tire pressure, and by the way, Ford, buy tires elsewhere from now on, never mind our 95-year relationship." (USA TODAY) This article examines the reasons for the falling out between Ford Motor Co. and Bridgestone/Firestone tires, and explains what impact, if any, that breakup will have on the consumers who need tires replaced. Included is an explanation of Ford's tire replacement plan.
