ZED Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Ok I have a rant my 2017 MKZ 3.0T came with summer high performance tires as standard equipment with the sports package. Now that is great if I lived down south or some other warm place but here in Western Massachusetts in April we could still get some light snow and temps are often below 40F and summer HP tires are not good at all traction wise below 40F. I do plan to run all 4 snow tires come winter but I just think Lincoln would have been much smarter if the factory sports package tires we high performance all season tires at leased I would not have to worry about springtime road grip on cold days.

drolds1 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Rant at your dealer, not Lincoln. All-season tires are standard equipment with the Driver's Sport Package. My car has A/S tires and was a factory order. Summer tires are option code T7R, at a cost of $195 and the car has to ordered that way. Did you buy this car new? If so, was it a factory order or taken from dealer inventory? Tire Option T7R 19" Summer Tire $195 Requires The Following Options: 6-speed SelectShift Automatic Transmission,Drivers Package,19" Polished Machined-Aluminum Wheels with Painted Pockets and 3.0L GTDI V6 Engine Edited April 2, 2018 by drolds1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZED Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 No I did not order the car new it had about 6,600 miles on it. It was really my fault I should have negotiated different tires in the deal I made. I will just have to be careful until it warms up around here.

drolds1 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Well, it's April, so it should be warming up. (Still, we had several inches of snow this morning). You'll probably be OK from here on out, but you might seriously want to think about winter tires next fall or switching to A/S tires altogether.

drolds1 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Stop using those 4-letter words :) I used quite a few 4-letter words myself when I woke up and saw what was going on IN APRIL! :swear: Opening day at Yankee stadium was postponed on account of snow for the first time in 36 years. We were in AZ last week. should have stayed there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepthinker84 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 What brand of tires was it? They should have gone for Pirelli Scorpion Verde AS Plus Tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khovius Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I just got Pirelli P-Zero Plus 245/40 R19 all seasons and could not be happier with the tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
