What years were Ford Explorers and Firestone having trouble with blow outs?

I would like specific model years for the Ford Explorer. Was this a suspension problem, defective tire problem, or air pressure problem?What years were Ford Explorers and Firestone having trouble with blow outs?From 1991 up until 2001 on the Explorer. If they were Firestone ATX or Wilderness ATX, they were part of the recall. This is what I think of the entire situation, my opinion of course, and personal observances. I had sold hundreds of sets of these at an independent tire shop before I ever went to work for Ford, and at 35 psi, which is what we inflated them to, no failures, not one. Later, after joining the Ford workforce, and after driving the Explorer models in question, the frame rails on these vehicles are spaced much closer together than other 4x4 vehicles, which makes for unstable handling characteristics, they dip and sway in turns and manuevers greatly, and do not handle very well. The factory air pressure recommendation for the 235/75/15 inch tire is 26 psi. This is factory recommended, 26 pounds of air, which is later changed after the blowouts start occuring. The tire manufacturer states that 35 psi is what the tire should be inflated to, but factory recommends 26 psi, to compensate for a poorly designed suspension. After driving on the interstate at 80mph for an hour or two a tire meant to be inflated to 35 psi and instead inflated to 26 psi, will overheat severly, causing a blowout. I do not believe it was a tire quality issue, due to the fact that after hundreds of sets of tires I personally installed at 35 psi, not one failure. Why did Ford later increase the tire pressure settings for the Explorer, even releasing new revised and increased tire pressure stickers to be installed on the vehicles when they came in for service!! That is a dead giveaway right there. It was not the tire manufacturer's fault, I do believe that a poor suspension design that was trying to be compensated for by underinflating tires is the cause. Ford should have rolled themselves over the coals, not Firestone. That is my opinion.What years were Ford Explorers and Firestone having trouble with blow outs?
defective tire problemWhat years were Ford Explorers and Firestone having trouble with blow outs?i think it was the 90-95 all of the ford from that year with the firestone tires de-laminated (tread comes off)What years were Ford Explorers and Firestone having trouble with blow outs?
Its a problem in the design of the truck.What years were Ford Explorers and Firestone having trouble with blow outs?It was a tire quality control problem with Firestone Wilderness A/T tires and ATX tires, primarily in the P235/75R15 size from one Firestone plant (A failure rate that was about 50 times that of other brands over a 3 year period). However further investigation showed that there were problems with the entire Wilderness A/T line of tires in almost all sizes ( failure rates that were from 3 to 10 times that of other brands over a 3 year period), which is why Ford replaced all the rest of the tires as a safety precaution while Firestone would only replace the one size from the one plant. These tires were used for almost 10 years before the problem came to light (Firestone tried very hard to hide it and lied many times about it to both Ford and to the US and Canadian Governments).
