The Firestones are made in Costa Rica... for what it¹s worth.

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.
