I doubt that the car dealership would intentionally sell a car that was a ticking time bomb, its very likely that the tire went flat, and since the car is RWD and twitchy, lack of experience (going from fwd to RWD) driving an RWD car and not stock suspension resulted in this crappy situation.

Remember these cars are light and made to drift....even if it is into a wall.

DSMs are more stable, and alot heavier.....a flat on a stock DSM with 205/55r16 and a flat on a drift 240 with 235/30r18s are two totally different animals.

I would contact the dealership, tell them what happened....if you use your words right, they may help you because they probably want to continue selling illegal cars and not get any attention from the law.

buy a 240 shell, swap the parts in, call it a day.
