Tire problems on Explorers add a mystery
DETROIT Recalled Firestone tires mounted on Ford Explorers and other Ford trucks fail more on the rear driver side than other locations. Ford says the tendency does not undermine its claim that tread separations are a tire problem, not a vehicle problem. Rear tire failures are more common and harder to control, especially in sport utilities prone to rolling. A rear failure can push the vehicle and trigger a skid. NHTSA data show many Explorer rollovers involve rear tire failure, with some on the driver or left side tires.
