Question

What is the background of Firestone tire failure?

Answer 1

Answer:

There were several primary causes of the tread separations; tire age, manufacturing facility, operating temperature, and vehicle weight. Ford did their own investigation into the matter, and confirmed that the Firestone tires were suffering from alarmingly high failure rates.

Firestone argued that vehicle weight, tire design, low recommended inflation pressure, and lower tire adhesion for tires manufactured at the Decatur, IL factory contributed to the tire failures.
