H.F.A.W.H.A. meeting

Had a set of Firestones on my 2002 Silverado that went 120K. Tread was still good but the steel belts were breaking down and causing a wobble at highway speeds.

120k? Geez I have never gotten that many miles out of a set of tires. I must be rough on them.

Well I went through the Firestone deal when all those Explorers flipped over from low air pressure and I think Michelins are owned by someone other than the USA but they do make a great tire.

Weren’t like 90% of the failures one tire? I think it was right rear. Weird a tire could do that. But it’s easier to point a finger then admit failure.

They were the factory Firestones that came on my 2002 Silverado. Also got over 80k on a set of Firestone Destination A/T’s on my 2006 Yukon XL.

For inquiring minds, they are headquartered in France and as of 2017 had over 112,000 employees!

I think they finally determined it was low air pressure but Firestone never recovered from that part of the market. On my 3/4 and 1 ton trucks I had good success with Firestone. They were 235/85/16's. The Ram has factory Goodyears on it and if I keep them rotated I might can get 80,000 miles on them.

I know many locally swap those off the ram saying they are bad on snow/ice. Only personally drove short distance on ice with a few so not much of an impression myself.

Running Hankook Dynapro ATM’s right now with over 80k on them. Tread is good. Road noise is getting noticeable. Excellent performance to date.

Thank goodness we have very little snow and ice here. I think these are 275/60/20's.

You're right. I should have said my memory was right.
