Most of these questions provide the data , together with the charts . I would say to my friend that there are several questions we do not know the answer to , and that is , one , whether , first of all , we think the data we are getting is valid . NHTSA has been without an administrator since January . We agree that there is much misinformation and some confusion about the safety of these vehicles . The FCC has categorized cable modem service differently , however , ruling in 2002 that it should be considered an information service , not subject to the same rules as telecom services . So the tire performance specifications were the same , and Goodyear and Firestone 's prices were about the same at that point . Mueller points to the European software patent debate as an example . 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 . Maybe if the companies get past pointing fingers at each other they 'll begin concentrating on the safety aspects . These were artists who could consistently sell out clubs and larger venues and did some touring , but they did n't have a record deal . One cannot walk around the city without being filmed almost every step of the way . " With the release of our new software , it 's never been easier for people to talk to one another for free , and now they can see each other with video as well .

NHTSA will testify later today that your company did , in fact , ask if there was any data on these replacement tires that indicated that they were the subject of a safety investigation . We are struggling , as Mr. Strickland said , to understand what these claims data mean . The total number of Wilderness tires used as aftermarket replacements on competitive vehicles is not known , but is believed to be relatively small , suggesting an elevated failure rate , comparable to that experienced by original equipment Firestone tires on the Explorer ( Exhibit 5 ) . Subsequent to that , a decision was made that we would single source tires on a particular vehicle , because you did n't want to go through the inefficiency of duplicate engineering and testing on one vehicle with two different tires . And every day it seems there 's a different story , accusations being swapped and expert witnesses and statistics and so forth , charges being made . So far , an additional 2 million tires have been made available , and we have taken 2-3 down weeks at several of our plants to help fill the supply pipeline and give the tire manufacturers time to ramp up production . Each tire design and application , it seems to me , must be evaluated in its own setting .
