Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased hyundai accent 4dr coupe and was surprised at the instability caused by the tiny tires it comes equipped with. i was further disturb when i discovered that hyundai was aware of this problem and put larger wheels and tires ont he gt version fo this car to increase stability. the basic car is dangerous to drive on winding roads and very unstable in emergency maneuvers with the standard wheel-tire combination. hyundai should replace the standard wheel with larger more stable wheels and tires as they put on the gt version.*ak
