Ford shipped vehicle with Firestone wilderness tires. Neither Ford nor Firestone have admitted responsibility or cause of failure of these tires on Ford Explorer. I am unwilling to accept a potentially unsafe tire on a new vehicle. The tires are not only potentially unsafe, but have lower the value of my vehicle. I replaced the Firestone tires with another brand and requested Ford to pay for this replacement. They refused. (dot number: Unknown tiresize: P235/70R16)
