Problem overview

Some Lincoln Navigator owners report experiencing issues with tire failures at the inside rim connection on 20-inch rims, which may be linked to inner tire wear indicating potential wheel alignment problems. These issues can arise from excessive negative camber settings or improper toe-out adjustments. Additionally, some owners note that driving with defective wheel bearings can compromise driving comfort and safety. Low tire pressure is another concern, as it can lead to vibrations at high speeds, making it crucial to maintain the manufacturer's recommended air pressure for all tires. Changes in rim size, such as upgrading to 20-inch rims, may also affect ride quality and suspension performance. When dealers attribute tire failures to driver fault, some owners find it important to seek detailed explanations and consider obtaining a second opinion from a reputable mechanic or tire specialist. Regular maintenance, including checks on wheel alignment, tire pressure, and overall tire condition, is essential for preventing premature tire wear and ensuring safe driving conditions.
