And it's not me. But they really did change that firebird for the better. Maybe not the ultimate but I like em.

Particular tire? Possibly, but it was irritating that such an expensive "Premium" tire would do that. The tread separation I got was on tires with about 22,000 miles on them. Hardly enough to warrant such an event. First the left front, but at a relatively low speed. Bubble in the tire started & separation occurred soon after. The second time I was driving at highway speeds & the right rear ripped away. Smashed the HELL out of my rear quarter! 
In the second case, the tire was still holding air.
My full size Merc never did like Goodyears. The Bridgestone tires were great on that car.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Right now i have Nitto 555 extremes in 225/40/zr18, the tires were very well priced, $115ea. espicially for being an 18" tire that isn't a rubberband, but if i decide to go to 17's i jsut wanted to make sure i had a right choice for new rubber.
