You think DERP is funny?
How about an article about poor internet trolling and another about changing blinker fluid.

I see, the internet trolling was some burner on the FP on dougs article last week, and was a bit of an asshole

That's a pretty solid price.
Normally a Firestone store is not the cheapest place to get Firestone tires. It's cheaper to buy from TireBuyer.com where they give you free shipping and $20 off a set if you ship to an authorized installer, which is often a Firestone store.
So for example TireBuyer has the Destination LE2 in 235/75-15 for $103.99 each. After the $20 discount that's $98.99 each. But with that Firestone 25% off, it's $94.49 a tire.
Hey now hey now hey now come on down to CRAZY EDDIE'S FIRESTONE BLOWOUT SALE.

I said a literal blowout sale because in the early 2000's when my mountaineer was make (well 1999 I guess was when it was built because its a 2000 model year). tons of firestone tires on ford explorers and mercury mountaineers were suffering blowouts.

Dammit Janet! Firestone did not cause the issue it was Ford's shitty engineers and beancounters that decided lower tires pressures could counteract the Explorer's tendency to roll over in a crash instead of spending time redesigning the Explorer's suspension and track width. Unfortunately with lower tires pressures came more sidewall flex and fatigue and BOOM tire blowouts. Vehicles equipped with the Firestone tires at proper inflation pressures had no blowout issues.
