Yes, Firestone tires did have a issue with their tires, but was many many years ago. Hopefully by now, they have corrected.
At the same time though, did they really correct? Yes, they were hit with lawsuits/fines/etc., but they are a business to make money (i.e. corporate greed). It's human nature to be really cautious when something catastrophic like the Firestone incident took place, despite how long ago.
Me personally, no, I will not purchase Firestone tires. Nor will I ever buy a Ford.

Didn't Yokohama have a recall last year due to failures, If my memory serves me... Point is, All manufacturers have occasional hiccups. I don't think I'd bash the whole line, or choose not to purchase over it.
I would, however do my research as always before commiting.
