Yes, the firestone tires were complete pieces of crap but since a tire blows out is it the tire or the automobiles fault for making the car flip over & killing the occupants? The firestone tire in question was actually banned from europe due to how cheaply is was made & the fact that it was know for blowouts. However ford still decided to use it on their SUV's! Also, consider the explorers we designed to they could only carry about 800 lbs of stuff & the tires were chosen according to the max weight that ford claimed the vehicle was. So you take 4 passengers at 200 lbs each & you are at the max vehicle weight, pretty scary to me!
I feel it's ford's fault for making a vehicle which couldn't be safely driven with a tire blowout & firestone makes some awesome tires, & some shitty ones to just like every other tire manufacturer
