“The contact owns a 1996 Mercedes-Benz E320 equipped with yokohama yk580 tires, size 215/55/r16. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH, there was an abnormal feeling from the tires. The contact moved off the roadway and discovered that the rear passenger side tire had become shredded. The contact installed the spare tire as a temporary remedy. The contact later went to the dealer where they advised him that the tire inflation was too low so they would not replace the tire at their expense. …”
