^^^ Yes it was. I used to design the OEM tires for BMW, Honda, Porsche, Acura, etc - I was in the High Performance division at MARC. After the Explorer/Firestone debacle, I went to Ford to help them out, and was able to work with/view all of the tire companies.

^^^ i got a tonne of over time for that issue. ONly did a little time in the Granton plant on the HP tires. they would however send excess tires to us to run on the ris as they had proplems with high spots in the KM. Man if I had a $ for the amount of tires we scraped they were only a visual defect i'd have alot of money.
