I just saw a news bit today regarding the Firestone tire problems. Apparently, the Venezuelan government is claiming that it's not just the fault of the tires, it's a problem with the Explorer itself. Ironically, I just replaced my Wilderness AT's (which were not made in the IL plant) with some 31" BFG AT Ko's, and was discussing the whole issue with my local tire dealer. He too was saying that part of the problem is the Explorer. I asked him how in the world it could be the vehicle's fault, and he said, "If it's the tire's fault, then how come the Ranger isn't having any problems?" What do you guys think? I really don't see how one could lay blame on the Explorer, but I suppose it's an interesting argument.
