I purchased my Lincoln Mkx 2013 new from sutton Ford. The tires on the car at the time were pirelli scorpion tires. Within less than year from tire exploded from the side wall while on my way to work. No one was hurt. However, I had to replace the tire. Less than a month later two other tires began to leak with report initially that it was the 20" chrome alloy wheel which was malfunctioning. The remaining four tires and wheels were replaced less than a year later I was called a dealer close to work where I had taken the car for oil change and to report rumbling when I was driving. I received a call from that dealership stating the car was "unsafe to drive" there issue with essentially all the tires with side wall rupture impending on one and remaining three with severe compromise. These tires were less than a year old. I had to have the car towed to a local facility for repair. My extended warrantly only paid for 75 dollars of the tow. Which was 100 dollars for me. I had four new Goodyear tires put on the car and drove home that evening. The next morning we awoke to find two of the tires were flat. I had to have a second tow to the repair shop and thetechnician there reported a defect within my wheels.
