Tire damage
I just had a flat tire on my ML350 2013. I am puzzled as to why the TPMS did not warn me on time. In fact the first warning I received was after the spare tire was installed! And it seems my 20in Conti Contact LX Sport is damaged beyond repair so I am considering replacing only one tire since the other 3 have little more than 4000km.
Too bad the TPMS did not work, it would have saved me big $.

So the tyre was knackered but thats life. The annoying part was Pirelli did not have any stock saying they will not be importing them for another 3 months. They offered me a pair of all seasons, but I believe they should only be fitted in a set of 4.
Fortunately a bloke in Sydney had some originals as private imports.
