Narrative

I have the 2022 S 500 with 21 inch mag spoke rims with Pirelli 255/35R21 tires on it which comes stock from Mercedes Benz. I have now been in almost 15 tires repair claims and 3 rim replacements because of how poorly Mercedes designed the rims then put a tire soon the car that cannot handle the weight of the car. I hit a pot hole and my whole tire blew out almost causing a severe crash. this is again the almost 15th time this has happened. I took the car to Mercedes Beverly Hills and the service advisors say that now there is $16,000 dollars in damages on the car fro the constant impact it has taken from the rims being poorly designed on the car. I have asked many times to replace the tire brand to a better and thicker tire. but Mercedes will not allow that and demands I pay over 16k in damages to fix suspensions and the drive unit issues.
