Tire size: 245/40/17 Had a blowout without any warning, causing me to hit the center console and mirror receiving cuts and bruises. Immediately was pulled to the side of the road. When I got out to see what had happened, the rubber separated from the tire, which knocked off the back end of my car, scraped the entire passenger side of the car, knocking off the door handle and unclear as to what it damaged underneath my car. I have filed a complaint with the company, dealt with a Jesse Han and contacted the CEO Darren Thomas in regards to repairing the damage done. This has gone on since June and they keep giving me the run around. There are multiple problems with Sumitomo tires and the company owes for damages

I was driving to work and it felt like the car ran over something. This is when I noticed that the tire had ran completely flat with tread splitting all around it. The tire has not been replaced but I have contacted the Mercedes service department because the tire has only 22,000 miles. I believe there are defects with the tires because the other front tire has a bubble in the tread.
