IN FEBRUARY OF 2012 WE HAD A TIRE FAILURE-TREAD SEPARATION. THE TIRES WE WERE SOLD AS 'RUN FLAT' WERE IN FACT MOEXTENDED BY BRIGDESTONE. THIS TIRE HAS A VERY LIMITED RUN LOW ABILITY THAT ALLOWS 18-30 MILES AT 30 MPH AND 10 PSI. WE WERE TOLD WE HAD RUN FLATS THAT ALLOWED OPERATION AT 50MPH FOR 50 MILES AT ZERO PSI. MERCEDES AND BRIDGESTONE DENIED ANY LIABILITY. THIS FRAUD WILL PUT SOMEONE ELSE IN DANGER AND THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO BE WARNED. WE HAVE SINCE REPLACED PSEUDO RUN FLATS W REAL RUN FLATS AND WILL DO NO FURTHER BUSINESS WITH MERCEDES BENZ. *TR
