"Ford pointed out from 1995 to 1997, a rival company Goodyear also supplied
two million tires using the same specifications Firestone was using. Nearly
500,000 were equipped on Ford Explorers with any evidence of failure,
according to Ford officials."

Re: SUVs and Rollovers
That's Goodyear's recommendation. As far as I know
Bridgestone/Firestone never went along with Ford's door jam sticker
recommendation. "Ford recommended 26 psi for Explorer tires":
http://www.e-z.net/~ts/Firestone.htm I use forty pounds on my full sized
Bronco, which is lighter than your TJ.

Re: SUVs and Rollovers
The report I heard was, Bridgestone/Firestone claimed their tires met the
specifications as required by Ford, including operating tire pressures.
Until, of course, their tires started coming apart.
