Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The tires and wheels on my 2002 ford focus are very poor in quality. the rims bend and tires deflate upon hiting a chug hole in the road way causing loss of car control. while always avoiding holes when possible, this is a fact on may roads and hiways. i have never had this happen on any other car. the car is equiped with 205-50-16 firestone tires and alum. wheels. the car handles poorly and has been aligned two times in past year. i feel cars equiped like this from the factory are an acident waiting to happen.
