| Many mercedes benz customers experience premature tire failure. mercedes says it is due to road conditions. it is a new problem with new mercedes e series cars. a person wrote have been in the tire & wheel business for over 15 years and have seen this problem many times. mostly with after market wheels where the standard wheel sizes reach all the way up to 26-inch diameters. it has nothing to do with a defective wheel or tire. mercedes benz has decided to install larger wheels on their vehicles so that the vehicle has a larger footprint to improve handling and to improve the appearance of the car. the problem with installing a larger diameter wheel on any car is you are now left with a tire that has a very short sidewall. from 2003 | |||
