Tire failure--bulging/rim damage ;replacing third set of tires at 8500 miles.
Preparing to put a third set of tires on my Mercedes Benz Sl550 @8500 miles. Already repaired 2 rims. ?! no warranty. 3 tires have bubbles on them.
Unknown cause, cracked and bent wheel rims, replaced with new.
At 2595 miles,I needed to replace 3 tires and repair 2 rims on my 2009 Mercedes Benz Sl550;at 7400 miles,another tire with a bulge;at 8000 miles,3 more tires with bubbles. . . Awaiting my service appointment;afaid to drive and apprehensive to call the insurance company for fear of losing coverage. Thousands of dollars out-no tire warranty and the dealer service department tells me it is me! my car is just two years old and has less than 8500 miles on it. I have been driving this make/model for 23 years with no prior incident. This car will have its third set of tires and multiple rim repairs at 8500 miles or so!.
