Consumer Description

I STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE HANDLING OF MY 2005 MUSTANG GT WHEN I WOULD DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD. IT WOULD SWERVE IN THE OTHER LANES AND IT WOULD HIT THE ROAD BUMPS AND HOLES LIKE A "GO KART" WOULD. I NOTICED SINCE I PUT ON MY 245/45/17 B.F.GOODRICH TIRES THAT I STARTED HAVING ALL THESE PROBLEMS. I ASKED THE FORD PLACE WHAT I NEEDED TO DO BECAUSE MY TIRE IN THE INNER PART WAS WEARING OUT AND MY FABRIC HAD STARTED TO SHOW. THE FORD DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT HELP ME AT ALL, ALL THEY WOULD TELL ME IS THAT I SHOULD HAVE NEVER CHANGED THE ORIGINAL TIRES AND WHEELS. I HAVE NOW AMERICAN RACING WHEELS WITH THOSE B.F.GOODRICH TIRES STILL ON, BUT I HAVE NOT DROVE MY CAR IN ABOUT A WEEK. *NM
