Typically when a car is struck by lightning it will blow out the tires and deploy the air bags. You are safe in an enclosed metal-frame body car as long as you are not touching metal. Lightning will be dsicharged off the metal body to ground. Tires play no role. Bikes, golf carts, convertibles, motorcycles are not safe in lightning.

Car was parked in driveway. All electrical dead as door nail. Insurance company totalled vehicle. Since we just moved here in Sept. and needed to downsize to one car and golf cart only, hubby bought a new golf cart instead of replacing car.
