Angry Flat Tire... is it covered ?

so my car is less than 3 months old... 2700 miles on the clock.... today I wake up and look at the car and it looked weird so I check the tires and the front passenger side tire is losing air slowly, it take it about 3 hours to lose 12 Psi.

now my question is do Mercedes tires have a warranty and if i go to the dealer will they patch it for free ?

+1, also if the tire is defective, meaning that you didnt puncture it with a nail or something then yes usually the tire manufacture will cover it but its only pro rated if i remember correctly, I'm assuming this isnt the case so if you dont have the tires for life thing then its gonna be out of pocket. FYI i dont know where you live but if you live near a discount tire they will fix/patch your tire for free.

I personally paid about 1K for a 5 year anything happens insurance for the rims and tires. Even if you scuff up the rims yourself they will fix them for you as part of this insurance. Definitely worth it if you have seen some of the curb rash the wife put on the last car

I bought the tire and wheel protection too but afaik you can't claim for curb damage since a curb is not a hazard. So I guess your wife runs into a lot of potholes then wink wink :-)

The one that I got from Fletcher Jones, has curb rash specifically listed as one of the things on there. I even straight up asked them if the damage is self inflicted is it covered and they all said it is.
