Brad the tires that sploded were the fault of the drivers and FORD! Them tires were sorely under inflated. Their death was from accumulated heat build up. Back in those days I had many sets of the same tires and kept them properly inflated...without any problems.
As a result of all that happened at the time folks are now more aware of their tire pressure than before.
