I had four blowouts of Firestone tires on a small car and will never buy them again. And, that was even sever years before the public scandal about their safety problem. Michelin and Goodyear are my brands. The best tires I ever had were Michelins.

Ditto on Firestone tires. I had two incidents in a van conversion, fortunately at low speeds. No more Firestone anything for me. Michelin or forget it...especially on a vehicle my family rides in.

The 2 best tires I found are the Goodyear Adventure and one of the Michelin LTX tires. The Goodyear's should go a couple yrs more before the sidewalls crack and are more durable off-road. The Michelin should go a little more miles and be slightly smoother.
