2014 E63S 4matic Wagon
Alignment question 2014 E63S Wagon

Hey all, on a 600 mile R/T roadtrip last week the right rear tire on my wagon split apart on the inside edge of the tread block on the PZeros that came with the car.

I'm wondering if there are any specific concerns to be addressed when having it aligned at a specialty shop that does work on all makes of cars, both low end and high end. Is there an issue to be worried about with the airshocks in the rear suspension of this beast? I bought the car CPO 4k miles ago and have had zero issue as of yet, and I would appreciate any wisdom you all might share about this.

Needless to say I was a bit offput airing up the spare on the side of a Colorado highway so soon after purchasing this car.

Any info would be most appreciated.

If the shop is using the laser alignment machine, you are probably fine. I’ve used both independent tire/wheel installers as well as the dealership with good results.

Inside edge/shoulder wears first on these cars . Just keep an eye there . Most people look at the outside and forget to look inside
