Today was the 7th tire that needed to be replaced since leasing this car since January 2014. These low profile tires are terrible. I feel this is unacceptable. I was offered a tire warranty which I regret I did not purchase. Regardless, this is a safety issue. The car does not come with a spare. I feel someone could end up stranded somewhere. Each time was either a small pothole, rock, minor bump in the road, or it just went flat!.
On November 25, 2014 , a right rear tire was repaired by the local Lincoln dealership. On January 8, 2015 a second tire blew out causing a near fatal accident. It blew in 20 degree weather with such force as to lift the vehicle off the ground and spin it in the air.
