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 . While some analysts believe Microsoft is making a show of pushing back against Linux and the companies who sell Linux products and services , Quandt said indemnification has value for all in the software industry . All through this process we shared our findings with NHTSA and Firestone . And there have been an incredible - - millions and millions of pages of documents , that have verified the testing and the lab work and the rig testing and the field data between the two companies at a very high level in the company . Lower court rulings have consistently upheld the Betamax rule , holding that there are legitimate uses for P2P file sharing and that even though the technology may be used to infringe copyrights or licenses , the creators of the technology may not be held responsible for infringement . And , we will make that decision any time that the safety of our customers is at risk . According to our test results , its handling and steering characteristics are remarkably close to those chosen by BMW and Mercedes Benz , as well as the most recent entries from Jeep , Dodge , and even the new TrailBlazer has less understeer than the Explorer . Now that the FCC 's appeal of that decision has reached the Supreme Court , there is speculation that the court might change how the various service providers - - almost all of which are selling multiple phone , Internet and television offerings - - are legally defined . I 'm here to explain the reasons behind our decision and to answer any questions the committee may have about the actions that we have taken to protect the safety of our customers . And I think the purpose of these hearings is to clarify this stuff for the American people , and all we are doing is confusing them by saying we have new tires and new worries , but yet we are not sharing this information with the American public . They won the - - the specifications are the same , and there was n't any field data , because we did n't have any Goodyears on Explorers . However , I would note that that did appear on the news media already , and since we are going to let this hang out , I suggest it should all hang out . 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 . He said NHTSA looked over its list of replacement tires and had no issue with those tires . I would note that some of the information that shows that the new tires from Firestone are safer than other manufacturers comes from a plant where there is no history of manufacturing of those tires at that plant , and as a result , there is no record of failures of tires coming from that plant . We feel this expenditure is necessary to protect the safety of those who have put their trust in us .
