Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Have 2002 mercedes c 230 coupe, 18000 miles, original owner. Had flat tire, right rear, no puncture noted by tire repair shop. Shop stated tires almost totally worn, with 2/32 tread on right rear and 4/32 on left rear, both center tread measurement. Front tires a little better. Michelin tires. But for incidental flat tire would never have thought tires needed to be replaced at 18000 miles or probably much sooner than that. Needless to say, dealership states no warranty on tires. …”
