| Description of the problem | I was driving to work and it felt like the car ran over something. This is when i noticed that the tire had ran completely flat with tread splitting all around it. The tire has not been replaced but i have contacted the mercedes service department because the tire has only 22,000 miles. I believe there are defects with the tires because the other front tire has a bubble in the tread. |
