Japanese Firestones More Durable?

An Arizona-based panel of experts assembled by an attorney acting against Firestone has stated that Firestone tyres made in Japan are more durable than those made in America. The ATX tyres manufactured in Japan are claimed to carry thicker layers of key rubber materials, which prevents damaging cracks from appearing. Firestone denied the claim, admitting differences in production but not in durability, the company added that the findings ” are not based on scientific analysis but on anecdotes and unsupported theories.
