But having said that , let me also acknowledge that Ford has an absolute right to replace any part of , you know , the product line that you want to replace , in your opinion , for the safety of your customers . Our Tire Team worked closely with NHTSA every step of the way . Obviously , you know , you express the condolences - - I think all of us do - - of the deaths that occurred from the Firestone tire failures . I've heard some of the comments made earlier this morning , and I want to make it clear that we do not get any satisfaction from this dispute with Firestone , but we cannot and we will not let them decide when or how the Ford Motor Company will act to protect our customers ' safety . Firestone and Ford had a very long history , and Firestone produced incredibly good tires over a long , long period , and during that period when - - in the early nineties when the sourcing decisions between Firestone and Goodyear were being undertaken by the company , Firestone ranked as the No. 1 quality tire supply . So I guess I am trying to understand if that is a catastrophic thing that we ca n't plan for , or deal with ; or is it something that if it occurs , you ought to a be able to drive to the shoulder of the road and not die . Mr. Chairman , we did n't test every single tire ever made in the history of this world . But in the final analysis , all of the testing and all of the hypotheses does n't really mean anything unless you can correlate it to real-world data , field data . I do n't want us to be party to releasing bad information to the American public which causes them either distress , worry or to make a bad decision . The chairman in his statement - - opening statement , stated that - - there were words to this effect , that some of the nonFirestone replacement tires have property and injury claims greater than those nonrecalled Wilderness AT tires . We wanted to see whether there was any indication of that data . The GPL includes requirements that require any developer that uses source code from LAME to " cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of the license . " I think any site that is editor-driven runs the risk of being taken over by egos , " he remarked . But you first of all had no field data when the tires were selected . Do you have any problem in testifying under oath ? We must also increase our efforts to raise public awareness of tire and vehicle safety issues , so that every driver realizes the importance of proper vehicle maintenance , including gauging tire pressure . And , we will make that decision any time that the safety of our customers is at risk . Users will now have more control over what they see on their customized Digg pages , according to Digg Founder and Chief Architect Kevin Rose , and in mid-July new tools will offer a visual overview of every story coming into the site as well . Explorer is safer than comparable SUVs in all crash types , front , side , rear and roll-over . Well , let me just repeat the question . Every test that we did went through data , statistical analysis , in terms of its significance ; and we will share that data with you .
