Hmmmm, those Bridgestones on my Ex seem to be doing well. I sure don't know
what the original poster meant by "incompatable". Many problems can be
solved by simply walking around our cars and looking......

If each and every one of us were judged by our last mistake, we wouldn't
even be able to trust our own judgement....

Bridgestones are excellent tires in general.
Firestones are probably fine too as long as you keep them inflated and not
overloaded.
I have never seen any documented evidence of Firestones having blow outs
where it was documented they were properly inflated at the time.

I have on the other hand seen dozens of Explorers (and other vehicles) with
one or more seriously underinflated tires barreling down the highway at 80+
mph.  I try to give those guys a wide berth so I won't hit them when they
have the blow-out and then roll over in front of me.
