Tire Sidewall Problems of Mercedes Benz S550

Right front tire 245/45r19b 102. H. M. S I had a major blowout. The sidewall of the tire had a whole the size of a retangular brick. I could have lost control and hurt myself and others. I had my brakes replaced and the tires aligned and balanced a couple of days before. The mechanic said it was unusual for the tires to show wear on the outside and inside tread. At 75 mph it was like a load explosion. Because they are run flat tires I did not brake and coasted to the exit which was close by. Insurance claim was filed and adjuster reviewed the tire, they did pay for a new tire and labor, I had to pay for realignment the car was flat bedded to the nearest mercedes repair shop. The tire was replaced and they realigned again. They said I was very lucky not to have had a major accident or even done more damage to the car. The mechanic said to check for recalls because the of the rectangular size on the sidewall of the tire. I did not run over anything in the road. The car road smoothly after the tire was replaced I have the same tire on the right front. I am very nervous it could happen again.

Replaced all tires when all had severe tread wear and two had side wall blisters at 23,000 miles. I received an adjustment for the replacement. With about 1,000 miles on the new tires the passenger front tire developed a large sidewall blister.
