Problem with tires...
I have bubbles on 3 of my tires, I called MB and they said it was due to potholes and this is not cover under my warranty. I took delivery of my CLS 500 2 weeks ago - should this problem happen so soon and is it really caused by potholes?
BTW, the tires are Continental 245/40 18!

you guys are crazy 
well my car broker is going to speak to the managaer at the dealership today...
granted the pothole story, but i think it is relatively too soon to have 3 huge bubbles in 3 of my tires
so hopefully MB can do right by me 
also, do you think it is safe to drive in this condition?

Well MB was not trying to do **** for me...well they said $150 off a set of 4 tires and no labor charge. I had my car broker make a few calls and it just so happen that he knew the distributor for Conti and after he talked to a few top ppl over there, they are giving me a set of 4 for - FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am going to change them to Pirellis or Michelins for the winter though - just taking advantage of the freebies since i didn't get anything from MB, except for a key ring!

it should be safe to drive on since the tire did not leak any air
