(from factory)continental vanco 4 season 225 17 101h tires premature excessive wear @ 12,000 miles. Tires were always inflated to recommended psi with no tpms warning lamps tires are now unsafe to drive on and could cause a blowout, crash, injury or death. Mb is not owning up to the wrong tire size and rating on these vans and being under rated from what what it should be . Current mbusa recommended tire is 235/55/r17 with 103h load rating. Seems that the tires that came with the van are the incorrect tire size and load rating which put driver at risk for rapid onset tire wear and damage risking in blowout or accident.
My vehicle has a manufacturing defect that has been causing excessive tire wear and alignment issues. New tires are needed every 7k miles and the wheels will not stay in alignment. This has been reported by many other owners. I have put together the following website to detail the problem and link to reports of the same: https://shadymercedes. Com/.
