There are 3 owner-reported tires & wheels complaints for the 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQSin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
Tires being designated as the preferred tires via Mercedes are Bridgestone Turanza LS100 265/40R21 These tires go from new to under 3" of thread left, how is this possible. Yes EV vehicles are heavy but its clear these tire are not made sufficient enough to handle this vehicle. In addition to having to change all tires within less than 9,000 miles. The mercedes dealership in 2 different locations say that is normal!. one dealership advised some clients are having to change tires 3000 t0 5000 miles of use. If this is not confirmation that tires being designated for this vehicle are not sufficient. 3 TIRES !!! within 2 months have blown, pothole and 3 tires within 2 monhts is not normal. How is mercedes allowed to place into the market a vehicle where its obvious there are no tires capable of handling its weight. After 2 incidents to leave vehcile undrivable, HOUSE rules no more EV. I would not feel comfortable my family this vehicle with tires which cannot sustain normal driving conditions.
the right rear tire went bald with 9500 miles on the car and no safety system notified me of low tire pressure. The left rear tire was almost as bald as well while the front tires were normal wear and fine. I believe the rear steering system is defective is the only explanation for symmetrical unusual wear. The dealer says it is normal for this car they siad the alignment was normal but the initial air in the tires could have been calibrated wrong but they do not take responsibility although the air pressure system did not notify me of low pressure @ 25lb by the way until i took it to the dealer in March. If i had not noticed the tire strands were showing in the rain at highway speeds this car would have hydroplaned. Here in Florida we have not had rain in months so the condition went unnoticed. On the internet there are many others with this complaint. There is no explanation for rear tires going bald we are not doing burnouts or donuts the car is all wheel drive anyway. We just are doing normal mostly highway driving and the rear tires went bad the only explanation is the rear steering system is defective.
THE CAR WAS DELIVERED WITH BRIDGESTONE 265/40R21 XL TURANZA TIRE AND WITH LESS THAN 200 MI. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A BUBBLE ON THE SIDE WALL . WE WERE INFORMED THAT THERE WERE OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM . I AM BRINGING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION B/4 THERE ARE MAJOR ACCIDENTS INVOLVED . THANK ING YOU IN ADVANCE TO LOOK INTO THIS
