That and as a rule those tires with the low sidewalls don’t typically have warranties on them, that is, they don’t guarantee them for a set number of miles, it’s basically, you buy it and hope they last.
That’s why I moved away from these on Mrs. Dan’s SL500. A set of tires was $1200, and she was going through them in 2 years or less. Some careful research with a tire size calculator and I was able to get very similar tires that were common sizes and had real warranties. They last longer, too, as the compound seems to be much harder. -D > On Mar 11, 2021, at 10:42 AM, Curt Raymond via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > I had to get a new tire on the Dodge yesterday.
