all three of the ones you mentioned are not as good as the Turanza LS .... the closest would be the Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus

That recall crap was half Fords fault, I would not have second thoughts about buying a bridge/firestone product.

you forgot the idiot drivers who didnt check thier tire pressure either.
my understanding is that that was the primary problem. explains why firestone kept taking tires off the line, testin em, and declaring em to be free of defects. they were fine at 30 psi like they were intended to run at.
