A BIG THANKS to all you guys!!! Done with my service f (they ended up doing service B). There's couple of things that need to be changed but nothing asap, except for the tires. I was told to get a new set of tires. Tires on my car right now have some cracks. Thanks again!!!

That's usually what ends up happening! Glad you got it resolved, but please please please please make the next place you drive the tire shop.

I don't think Mercedes ever used Firestone as OEM, either way they're dangerous.

Hi Dude,

Yeah, I know they [MB] don't use Firestone as OEM. But who knows if they are original tires?? There was another thread about some Firestones, with low miles with cracking sidewalls. Just curious!

Any old tire can get cracked sidewalls, and even if they are not cracked, the strength and flexibility is greatly reduced after 10 years.


This is a big problem with RVs, they get so few miles the tires look perfect right up to the blowout!
