NHTSA Complaint #733722 — 1999 FORD F-150

I PURCHASED A 1999 F150 ON 5/9/00. I RECENTLY BOUGHT NEW TIRES FOR MY TRUCK AND FOUND OUT THAT ONE OF THE WHEELS WAS BENT ON THE INSIDE. THE BEND IN THE WHEEL WAS BAD ENOUGH THAT THE WHEEL COULD NOT BE BALANCED PROPERLY AND WOULD WOBBLE. I THEN PROCEDED TO PUT ON MY SPARE TIRE AND NOTICED THAT THE SPARE TIRE WAS A DIFFERENT SIZE THAN WHAT WAS ON THE TRUCK WHEN I PURCHASED IT. THE SIZE ON THE TRUCK IS 255/ 70R 16. MANUFACTURER REQUIRED SIZE IS 235/70R/16. I BROUGHT THIS PROBLEM TO THE SELLING DEALER AND SET AN APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO TAKE A LOOK. I AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP BECAUSE I FEEL I HAVE BEEN TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND THEY WILL THINK I CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I DID NOT CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. THIS TRUCK WAS SOLD TO ME IN THIS CONDITION. I JUST NOW FOUND OUT I HAD THIS PROBLEM JUST BECAUSE I WANTED NEW TIRES BEFORE WINTER HITS. ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN GIVE ME WILL BE VERY HELPFUL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
