Default Re: Firestone refuses to service hybrids

Get this, Firestone called me back and said they don't even make snow tires for Camry's.... WHAT A LOAD OF BULL. How can they not make snow tires for the best selling car in America.... I am officially done whih those clowns and will probably get Michelin Primacy Alpin's.

Did you know your buick did not have tire pressure sensors, but used the wheel speed sensor to determine if the tires were low on air.

The theory was that if a tire was low on air, the rolling circumference of the tire would be reduced, and the tire would turn more than the other tires. That is why you can trigger the light by crossing railroad tracks, or some other odd circumstances.

My parrents have bought a new buick every year for the last 9 years or so, and they have all had this hokey tire pressure monitoring system.
