Re: Firestone tires

Charlie:  I believe you are 100% right, I have
Michelin's on our jeeps and never a problem and get
excellent wear.  Will try to wear these Firestone
out real fast and replace them with something
else... the two Goodyear Workhorse tires I picked
up to get on into Denver seem to be pretty good and
didn't have any problems with speed on the way back.

-If you want to stick with stock 235s, Michelin
-Pilote XPS Traction or Highway Rib are all-steel
-casings plus 3 more steel plies in the tread area.
-The sidewall rubber is very thick. They will not
-blow out unless underinflated. I have been driving
-on Michelin all steel tires for ~450K miles over 28
-years with no blowouts or other sudden failures,
-only 5 or 6 slow flats due to nails, once a 1/2"
-railway spike which I drove on for 300 miles before
-I noticed it. It didn't leak until I pulled it out.
-They're the best, they are somewhat expensive, and
-you get what you pay for.
