The tire makers talk a good game about tire safety and potentially dangerous products. That said, it is they who have produced the defective product time after time since the inception of tire manufacturing.

The four sisters are Goodyear, Bridgestone/Firestone, Michelin, and Pirelli, although their trade group USTMA.org has 11 member companies who are all new tire makers.

Bridgestone’s tires had no DOT code on them, which makes it illegal to use in the U.S.A.
