Like everyone is saying you can't bust a Michelin as they are very robust. You will get reimbursed for a new Michelin up to 2 years with the included tire rack road hazard if it's not repairable anyways. Keep us posted.

Did change to all fours - to Michelin super sports - the front passenger tire keeps bursting, 2 tires burst in 3 months, what's the solution? These are supposed to be the best in the business, anyone found a solution yet ?

Those wheels are hot trash, pretty, but trash. I really don't like saying this, and I apologize in advance: Your problem will not go away until those wheels go away.

Did you read the post properly?
I have Michelin super sports (non run flats)
What other tires are you recommending?
I already switched out factory pireli run flats which were a total disaster

Yes, arguably the best in the business, but those are tires, not wheels. It is the wheels that are killing you, those are what have to go.

This car doesn't do well with the 21s. I went to 20s and haven't had issues in 40k miles on it so far.

My 2022 Audi RS7 has 22 inch rims and 285/30R22 tires front and rear and no issues in 4 years with bad roads. It's the design of the s class suspension etc that makes it prone to popping the tires along with their 21 inch rims. But the fact Mercedes went with thicker tires for the s63 tells me it's fine for the s580 as someone else did it on this forum without problem with rubbing etc.

Honestly the ride is much smoother and perfect with the 20s on the s class.
