[Thread Backward] Re: Firestone tiresMsg # 5215 of 8004 on Powerstroke Diesel Conference (1)To: Headhunter, From: Rick C. Time: Thursday 01-29-98, 12:28 am Headhunter, I remember a Ford recall several months ago. I think it was for '97 F250/350 with the Firestone tires. It said some tires had the sidewalls damaged during the mounting process causing blowouts. I can't remember where I read this. It was either AAA rag or Consumer Reports. Rick C.
