The good thing about the Firestones is that they're made of rubber,  
not rice.

If you don't understand my comment, what I'm referring to is buying  
products made by American companies as opposed to companies in other  
countries. Half the people I know, probably more, drive Toyotas,  
Hondas, etc. Now look where the Big Three are. American companies make  
tires, cars, and other products that, in most cases, are as good as  
any. If they're not as good, they're usually good enough for me. They  
say any new car has better quality than any car did ten years ago.

Within the next few weeks we'll probably see the government loan or  
give billions of $$$ to GM, Ford, and Chrysler or they will go out of  
business and our economy will probably collapse. (Remember this is  
billions - $1,000,000,000s) This will be OUR tax money at work.  
Everyone that buys Toyotas, etc., should think about this.

Pardon my somewhat political comments, but Firestone makes excellent  
tires. From what I understand, Hankook tires are just fine too. Ya  
pays yer money and ya makes yer choice.
