They just don't make them like they used to.

Tires that is. Hard to find any good ones. 6 of eight firestones went bad on my company vehicles plus a good year and a pep boys tire. Both my boat trailer tires have to be prematurely replaced. The new firestones that are on my suburban act funny too when I turn they act like a locked axle they same way my stock cars did.

I don't know if the belts start to separate or what, the tread wears uneven, one nub is perfect the next is worn out. Older radials never did this.[:((]

Todd, BF Goodrich, Best luck with them, Good for one years are garbage and firestone dont get me started, I dont thing the problem is the tires, I think its the POS vehicals they are building today. Just my 2 cents.
