Firestone Tire Recalls

I am severely prejudiced against Firestone for the following reason:
Early on they produced the "Firestone Steel Belt Radial" tires. Consumer Reports tried to test them agains other brands but could not rate them because they could not keep them on the cars due to their self-destruction.
Then eventually the Federal got into it and told Firestone to not ever sell those tires again, to which they agreed.
However they still continued to procuce the same exact tires under house brands rather than the Firestone brand.
The Federal gummint is equally at fault because they never prosecuted the officers of Firestone for this aggrevous crime. Only the stockholders paid the fines. Those officers should have been prosecuted and potentially jailed. IMHO.
