Just heard on the news today that in Florida a Ford Explorer with the Firestone AT/S had a blowout and rolled over. Nobody was hurt. Geez, if you have these tires replace them immediately.

mudder-
There are alot of folks in that predicament, me being one of them with my 2K Expy 16" Wilderness ATs...:-(

Do you know if this problem is confined to the Explorers or does it span across the entire tire line, regardless of size?

Thanx ahead of time, for any info.

Just pulled this off of the CNN website. http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/08/04/tir....ap/index.html

Sears and NTB are pulling the "questionable" tires.
