conti tires!?! wtf
oddly enough 3 flats on stock conti tires, here the kicker, i didn't get the tire protection pkg. b/c I am going to install aftermarket wheels and tires 20's...
- but after my stock amg 18's seem to not be holding up against the street of NY/NJ area i thinking this is a bad idea! what gives? is an E350 just that heavy of car? or conti tires can't handle potholes? my brother same deal on his s550 has had 6 flats already with those tires?
previously i had a 2010 camaro SS running 22inch wheels and tires, the side walls had to be less then 3 inches and yet never an issue... plus Im pretty sure i pushed that car a lot harder then the benz.. On the SS i was running vredstein tires which i know have thinker sidewalls then most manufactures.... what do you guys think?

2 were flats, the side walls blow out and pop a hole 1/8 of an inch or so. .... the 3rd was a huge bubble which I replaced while replacing the flat. didn't want to worry about having a blowout while driving
