Consumer Description

THE RIMS ON THESE 2007 COBALTS BEND EASY WITH THE SIZE OF TIRE THEY ARE SOLD WITH. ANY POT HOLE HIT AT SPEEDS OF 30 - 55 MPH WILL BEND THESE TIRE RIMS. I HAVE REPLACED 2 RIMS AT $ 111.00 A PIECE AND MY BACK RIMS ARE BENT ALSO. WAL-MART, TIEMANS TIRE AND OTHER TIRE STORES ARE AWARE OF THE BAD RIMS ON THESE COBALTS. YOU CAN NOT FIND ANY USED RIMS ANYMORE DUE TO ALL ARE USED TO REPLACE OTHER BENT RIMS ON COBALTS. THIS CAN CAUSE YOU TO LOOSE CONTROL OF YOUR CAR IF A POT HOLE BENDS A RIM AN YOU LOOSE ALL AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRE. IT WILL ACT AS THOUGH THE TIRE BLEW OUT WITH SUDDEN AIR PRESSURE LOSS. IT IS NOT A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR
