There's plenty of other people who can pick up market share. And when you think of 6.5 million tires, that's less than one month's production for Goodyear.

I think at the end we sort of handed the win away when we didn't take two tires. We could have gotten out ahead of those guys.

It's obviously going to hurt Firestone financially. They're giving up business that will be tough to make up elsewhere. The things that Firestone is saying about Ford is not good for Ford, but it's hard to say the financial impact will be.

Compaq walked away from PC market share when pricing was irrational.

We don't have a monopoly. We have market share. There's a difference.

If at all possible, first check out the tires. When you think about it there only four spots about this big holding you on the road and if they're not in good shape, off you go.
