The problem with Ford SUV's being greasy side up in the ditch with a blown tire is mostly the owners and Ford's fault.
The Ford SUV's were classified as an automobile so automobile tires were specified. Also Ford used an unusually narrow wheel track width on those tall vehicles making them easier to roll. Owners complained about their vehicle riding and sounding like a truck. So Ford lowered the recommended tire inflation pressure.
The failures almost all had these common factors. Hot summer day, in the US south, the vehicle was heavily loaded and was on an extended trip.
Now add to this we commonly see people oblivious to the fact their tires are under inflated which further increases flexing, friction & heating.
These under inflated car tires were operated in the worst of conditions causing heating. The tires literally devulcanized and came apart at high temps.
This winter my truck will need tires and it will likely get top of the line Michelins but the 8 ply Firestones will be considered
