......that uneven tire wear was normal with the Lincoln ls
 
You are correct not to buy that comment. Have someone else check out the alignment/suspension. I have had excellent even tire wear with my LS and so have many others.

What are the best tires to buy for an LS? by queengina

Hello,
 
I just bought my 2005 Lincoln LS back in March. This past weekend I brought it to get the tires rotated since I had already put 9,000 miles on the car. The technician told me that all of the tires are dry rotting and the tread is gone and I should get them replaced before the winter comes (I live in Massachusetts)
 
I would like a good tire that is decent in the snow and wet grounds and can at least get some good milage out of them before being replaced. Any suggestions?
 
Also....should I contact the dealership who sold me the car? I bought the car with 21,700 miles on it. I believe the tires are the original tires on the car but the tech said the rot is so bad it doesn't happen like that overnight. I already had a problem with this dealership and had to bring back the car 5 times to be serviced because of bad brake pads and rotors (they gave me a car to drive away that needed all new pads and rotors, so much for inspecting the car before giving it to me!!)
 
Thank you in advance for your help!

You can try but after 6 months and 9000 miles they aren't going to be too eager to replace those tires. They will say any damage was caused by you. Didn't the LS come with Continental tires, and they weren't very good? Is that what you have?

I don't know what kind of tires they are, I'll have to look. But they look bad, and they are all dry rotted. Dry rotted tires don't happen over night. I have already had problems with this car since the day I bought it, and the dealership has to keep replacing things on the car. I had to have my attorney called and threaten them with the Lemon Law.
I don't want to go back there anymore so I would rather just buy 4 brand new tires, especially with winter coming.
What kind of tires do you suggest?
 
Thank you,

If price isn't an issue - Michelin Pilot Sport or MXMH4s depending on whether you want sporty or touring. There are a lot of choices on the lower end. Tirerack.com is a good resource for comparing tires and tire survey ratings from actual owners.
