Michigan that what we're trying to do here in a bipartisan way is to make this information more available to the consumer so that the consumer can make a decision , and that 's - - we have no intent , no agenda , other than trying to make the consumer feel a certain level of confidence that he or she understands this information . We look at a whole list of different specifications which include speed ratings and handling , wet weather conditions , snow conditions and probably four or five other characteristics that relate to the tire and the way it relates to the vehicle . In some cases it is - - requires a vote of the committee to release data acquired by subpoena . The field data show , however , that there is no correlation between load reserve and tread separation claims on these vehicles . " Sometimes this may simply be attributable to oversights , but there 's also a fundamental misconception among traditional companies about those innovative approaches to intellectual property , " Mueller said . The image or the name identity of the corporation does not match with the current product lines or services , while the names of the products do not match with the customer 's perceptions , and the existing images do not match with the long-term directions of the company .

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 . In comparison to the sixties or the seventies , are we better off or are we worse ? Claims data shows that the owners of vehicles other than Explorers have virtually no problems with tread separation , leading to rollovers . 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 . In order to ensure the greatest protection for the safety of those families , it is incumbent on us to obtain the most accurate and comprehensive information possible . I asked that question based on my own experience , because I had tires that were n't recalled during the first recall , and lots of my constituents would walk out , look at my tires and say , why are you driving on those tires , you should get those replaced ; and I would explain to them that they were n't a part of the initial recall .
