Consumer Description

THIS IS THE SECOND ONE TO BE REPLACE. I THOUGHT THE FIRST ONE I REPLACED WAS AN ISOLATED CASE. I WAS ON MY WAY BACK FROM A FUNERAL AND STOP AT A DEALERS BECAUSE THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS LOW. I KNOW I NEEDED SOME TRIES. I PUT ON TWO TIRES AND WHY THE RIM WAS OFF, THEY NOTICE THAT IT WAS BENT. I HAD A PROBLEM LAST YEAR WITH A RIM THAT THE DEALER FOUND A CRACK IN IT. ANOTHER CUSTOMER HAD HER MALIBU IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY FOUND OUT THE HER RIM WAS BENT ALSO. ON THE INTERNET, I NOTICED THAT THIS IS NOT ISOLATED AS I THOUGHT IT WAS. A CRACK OR BENT RIM COULD CAUSE A TIRE FAILURE AND MAY INJURE OR KILL SOMEONE. GM WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER THIS ANYMORE. OH I BROUGHT THIS CAR NEW. *TR
