2003 FORD E-250 Tires Problems

TIRE BRAND AND SIZE: PATHFINDER SPORT S A/T 245/75-16 PUT ON REAR OF 2003 FORD E250 EXTENDED LENGTH WORK VAN. BOUGHT NEW FROM DISCOUNT TIRE. AS SOON AS I GOT ON THE INTERSTATE I NOTICED THE VEHICLE FELT UNSTABLE. WAS WANDERING IN REAR. WHEN MAKING A LANE CHANGE IS WAS REALLY BAD AND FELT UNSAFE AS THE REAR SWAYED FROM SIDE TO SIDE. HAD THEM TAKE THESE TIRES OFF AND REPLACE WITH A MAJOR BRAND AND THIS PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SOME ONE LOOKS INTO THESE TIRES AS I THINK THE POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR CAUSING A SPIN OUT OR ROLL OVER.
