I have a 2014 MKZ. I am coming up on needing new tires. The dealership has quoted me an arm and a leg for new tire, but I am not excited about getting my tires changed by a 3rd party in case they damage my tire pressure sensors. If that happens, I will not be in warranty to have the sensors fixed... So, what do you think about getting tires replaced by a 3rd party for a cheaper rate? Worth the risk of being out of warranty to save a few bucks? Context: I had a blow out a few months back and I was on my way back on a 5 hour drive and had to have the tire replaced to get home. The only place open was a small shop that may have damaged my tire pressure sensor when they replaced it (or it was damaged in the blow out). Either way, since I didn't have it replaced at a dealership the sensor replacement was out of warranty and cost me about $300 for just one. I do not want to pay that much again (especially x4) so I am weary about going to a 3rd party. Thoughts?

I have a 2013 MKZ Hybrid. It currently has 22,000 miles on it and the tires are already shot. It is never driven hard (being a Hybrid its not fun to beat on it) so I can't figure out why the tires are already bald. It still has the OEM tires on it and I am going to talk to my local dealer to see if I have any recourse before buying all new tires. I thought these tires were junk, but what I realized today is that I have the same identical tires (size 18s) on my 2014 Toyota Camry V6 and with those tires, my Camry is better in the snow than any 4WD vehicle I have ever owned so I'm torn if I should give this brand another shot or go with a new brand. I was hoping I could get some suggestions from people here as to what brand I should get. I have the 19's on the car and I live in Buffalo, NY so I need to find an all-season tire that will handle well in snow if I decide not to get winter tires. I love the car but I came very close to trading it in several times this winter when I got stuck in less than 1/2 inch of snow on more than one occasion. Thanks in advance!

Looking for recommendation for Michelin tires to replace the OE tires on my 2010 MKZ with the standard 17" setup. Thanks.

Guys, I am ordering a new MKZ Hybrid and can't choose between the 18" and 19" wheels. After testing both, I could swear the bigger 19"s actually provided the softer ride. How is that possible? I thought the smaller tire would provide the softer, more luxury feel. Could the dealer just be underinflating the 19s? I did switch the 18s to "comfort mode" and it got a little softer but not as soft as the 19s. I feel like I am taking crazy pills.please help.
