RV Tires.
Can anyone give me feed back on Firestone tires? I have Goodyear now. They are 295/80/R225. I can get the Firestone for around $1,800 less than The goodyear or Michelins.

I seem to remember a Firestone 721 debacle even before the huge problem with the tires it sold Ford. Maybe I'm having a brain fart, but seems like it was in the 60s or 70s. Anyway, there are way too many decent tires out there to gamble with their products.
It wasn't the tires that were blame per se-it was the very low tire pressure published by Ford to make the Ford Explorer ride smooth. Then the tires would seep air over time (like all tires do) and the pressure would become very low (and the owners would never check pressure) and the tire would overheat and then blow. When the tire blew the drivers would hit the brakes instead of steering on to the shoulder. When the driver hit the brakes the vehicle would turn over or roll on it's side.
Google it.
