But I 'd have to say no , because during the same period , the answer to your direct question - - if you look at the same period , that same year and the year following that - - Goodyear 's percentage of Ford tires , tires used on Ford vehicles , actually went up ; and it went up because during that period we wanted to balance tire sourcing between the companies . I 'm a new member to the committee , so I was n't here last year when you appeared , but it 's my understanding that back then , that obviously it 's a fair statement to say that contrary to some of these statements last year at the committee hearing , that Firestone and Ford ca n't seem to agree on what the root causes of the tire problem is . The statistics cover 298 959 employees in municipalities and county municipalities per 1 December 2005 , excluding employees paid by the hour . When tires do fail through road use , damage or abuse , or misapplication to the wrong vehicle , or wearing out at the end of its useful life , or as the result of a design or manufacturing flaw , NHTSA 's got to have the appropriate data so that it can evaluate the tire in its appropriate vehicular environment . Sir , if you could help me just kind of get down to the lowest common denominator here , I read through inches of material , and if you could help me in defining if defect - - because we have heard testimony about tire pressure , load , heat variances , but specifically - - and we've also heard a variety of testing , field testing that shows something is wrong , shows the belt is coming apart .
