Yup it was definately on the Ford Exploders NOT on the Jeeps.
Yes it was the Firestones - not sure if it was a specific model for Ford or normal run of the mill....BUT almost certainly part of the problem was incoorect tyre pressures too (if I recall some of the stats correctly)....

Have seen quite a few of the firehawks come apart on the harsh dirt around here ( MT Isa ) , eg sidewalls coming apart etc , wouldn't recomend these at all. Buy a set of BFG's or coopers , you won't be sorry
