I have a '98 F150 that has one in the bed with no tread and one that was on the front that let loose as I was only going around 30mph and pieces went about 9 ft up in the air. One large piece stayed flopping around. I limped into a nearby parking lot at my destination, took the tire off and got a used one for $25 at a shop about a mile and a half or two down the road, until I could get back home. Funniest thing: it still had at least 75% of the tread remaining. I was around 25 miles over in the next town on a back road to the former air base on the outskirts of that town, now just an air strip, when it flew apart. Never liked Firestones. I went and bought two Bridgestones - 235/70R 16s - for $300, give or take, including new valve stems and balancing. That was at Sears... Stanley

But worth it in my opinion. Toyota put Firestone Wilderness T/A on it stock. You might remember these tires, they were popular a few years back for flipping Ford Explorer's on the evening news. I never got flipped, but they were terrible. No traction at all, noisy as hell, and if it rained forget about controlling your vehicle. If you go to www.discounttire.com you can check prices for your vehicle. -Kyle On Sat, Aug 21, 2010 at 6:59 PM, Angela Kennedy <[email protected]> wrote: aren't those pretty expensive >$100?? > > > >On Sat, Aug 21, 2010 at 7:32 PM, Kyle Munz <[email protected]> wrote: > >For 4wheel cages I've always been a fan of BFGoodrich.
