How did you get lightning in your car?? You are fairly safe unless it is a plastic car, like a Honda or a Corvette.

Today, yes. It is warm and sunny and they are not predicting any storms for at least a week so you should be pretty safe.

Yes, the Rubber tyres insulate you from the electric charge.

Not if you touch metal.

Yes. I have seen lightning strike only a yard away from a car - the only damage was to the ears of the people in the car. Lightning looks for the easiest path to earth, and that is not usually through rubber tyres.

Pretty safe, yes. The rubber tires insulate you from the ground.
