Common Reported SymptomsAI Analysis
This vehicle has 6,600 miles on it. All 4 wheels have been bent driving on normal roads at normal speed. There have been 2 sidewall tire bubbles as a result. And after having all wheels straightened one of the wheels has now cracked. This caused the tire to deflate and the vehicle can no longer be driven. Is speaking with a wheel shop this is a known problem with this vehicle. Mercedes will not do anything about it.
The car is equipped with Continental ProContact GX SSR 245/40R19 runflat tires in the front. Since January of this year I have replaced the front tires 5 times. Once for the left front and four times for the right front. One time it was due to a bubble in the sidewall. Other four were from the sidewall tearing vertically in 2 places a few inches from each other. The pictures attached show how the tire failed four times. In the cases where the sidewall failed in some cases was from running over what felt like a shallow pothole and/or broken pavement. The broken pavement is one that I have gone over with another with non run flat tires multiple times without issue.
