Re: Firestone tires

I had asked about this a couple of days ago.  I
have now received my notification that my truck is
covered under this recall.  I don't yet know if the
tires are going to be inspected and maybe replaced
or just straight-out replaced.  The letter makes me
think the latter will be the case.  Not bad, 5 new
tires for free, but unfortunately they'll still be
the Firestones.  Since Firestone is doing the work,
maybe I can trade up?  We'll see.  For everyone's
information, the recall is #97S90 and I *think* it
applies to most 97 F-250/350/450 built in Mexico
with the Firestone tires.

-Headhunter, I remember a Ford recall several

-this. It was either AAA rag or Consumer Reports.
