I would assume that any vehicle that rolls over because it gets a flat
tire could be called "ill handling" -- likewise the early nineties
Chrysler mini vans with their factory issued tires -- both cases the
tires were oem, so such tires were part of the vehicle's "handling" package.
Ralphie was busy trying to be Presidential though, so it was typically
disappointing of him not to jump onto the continuing crusade for
automotive safety -- the resultant fatalities did seem like a safety
defect.
