Tire Pressure Monitoring System problem #1

I own a 2005 mercedes C230. The way the car is designed causes excessive wear on the tires. I have replace them every 10,000 miles and must be constantly vigilant about monitoring their wear. When I haven't the car has slid during the rain because of bad traction almost causing wrecks.

Tire Sidewall problem #2

I have had to replace one tire because of a sidewall separation rip. Now I have discovered the same defect on two other tires. The tread is good and there is no reason why it should be separating. These tires need to be recalled. The tires in question are 225/45 r17 and 245/45 r17.

Tire problem #3

The contact owns a 2005 Mercedes Benz C230. The contact stated that the brakes had to be replaced at 9,000 miles. In addition, both rear tires were replaced at 13,000 miles because they were worn out. The tires currently need to be replaced again. The purchase date and tire information were unavailable. The current mileage is 19,775 and failure mileage was 9,000.
