6. People in glass houses......................
Forgotten this maybe from 6 years ago ?

Ford has confirmed it will recall 13 million tyres at a cost of $2.1bn, marking the end of its 100-year relationship with US tyre-maker Firestone.

The plans to replace up to 13 million Firestone tyres is in addition to last year's massive recall.

"We do not have the confidence in these tyres to keep our customers safe," said Jacques Nassar, chief executive of Ford at a press conference.

I think it's reasonably safe to assume those were not Chinese tyres ?
