Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem #1

I leased car with custom wheels the wheels did not properly fit the car, the wheels were not the weight classification for the car and the dealer did not change door placard when they changed the wheels and one of the wheels came off while I was driving the dealer did not provide a lug wrench for the after market wheels the dealer refuses to cancel the contract. Called dealer about tpms light came one block after I drove off and dealer said just keep driving.

Tire Sidewall problem #2

I have a 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport SC with continental sportcontact tires 275/40zr. I have had three sidewall failures in three months. The latest was driving at 25 mph for a distance under one mile two tires disintegrated. One sidewall failed completely and the second collapsed and is also destroyed.
