Low Profile Tires - kill

I love this car 5 in every respect ... BUT the demo model I leased came with low profile big rim sport tires. The dealer failed to stress the tire warranty package. I've blown 2 tires driving less than 5k. Hit a pothole at 10mph and it sounds and feels like the front axel just exploded. Hit a pothole at 65mph and without run flats your tire will explode as well as you. I live and drive in NYC/NJ due to the Coronapocalypse Now the roads on a rainy winter night mean hitting hidden pot holes is inevitable and in this car at high speed that will mean you blow tires which could be deadly. When I complained to the dealer they found it amusing and recounted a tale of a woman blowing 3 tires in a month. Wtf? I had a flash back to the movie idiocracy. Who finds that amusing? Mini needs to figure this out - how have they not been sued? The car is designed for the autobahn not Northeast city highways.
