[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 910876, member: 56140"] Yes, Ford wanted to run the tires at a lower pressure than were recommended. You are 100% correct. It was Firestone that said it was OK to do so. A well built tire SHOULD NOT have the tread separate from the core. Was the lower pressures to blame? Hell yes, but again, Firestone said it would be OK to do so. Again, Firestone, the ones that designed, built, and sold the tires said it was OK. The pressure was increased because the recommend pressure, the one Firestone said was OK, was partly to blame for the problems. Firestone gave the OK to have them at what Ford wanted. Firestone COULD have said NO and it would be on Fords lap, BUT firestone said it was OK to run at those pressures. Get the hint? Tom [/QUOTE]
