I had 3 blowouts from hitting small potholes on 3 different tires in 1.5 years.  These are complete immediate blowout going completely flat on impact.  It could have very dangerous if I were driving a little faster and fortunately there was no other damage to the car or other persons.  In each case, I hit a small pothole, and the tire blew out, flat to the ground. Because these are run flat tires, on the first 2 incidents I was able to drive home and to the dealer for tire repair/replacement.  The third one was so bad that I could not drive all the way home and had to get towed.  But all 3 incidents were scary and dangerous because of the sudden blowouts.   The tires were not repairable and had to be replaced.  I believe that the Mercedes Tire inflation instructions is unsafe and they should put more air in the tires to protect from the rim cutting into the tire when hitting a pothole.  The driver's door \"B\" pilar placard says the \"cold tire pressure: Front 41 psi   Rear 47 psi\".   Mercedes repair shop inflates the tires according to the Fuel Filler Door decal that says \" Front 36 psi, Rear 36 psi.\"  That is a big difference in pressure -- as much as possible 11 psi under pressure.  I believe these run flat tires failed because of too low of tire pressure when hitting the pothole.  If the tires were inflated with the higher pressures as on the door pilar, the wheel rim would not have been able to cut into and through the tire wall because the higher tire pressure would prevent the impact of the rim cutting through the tire sidewall.   I believe this a serious safety issue and Mercedes should be inflating this type run flat MOE tires to a much higher pressure and should not use the low-pressure instructions that are on the fuel door label.  There should be a recall and repair instructions to increase run flat tire pressure on Mercedes E class vehicles.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2023","productMake":"MERCEDES-BENZ","productModel":"E 450","manufacturer":"Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC"},{"type":"Tire","productYear":"9999","productMake":"CONTINENTAL","productModel":"PRO CONTACT","size":"245/45 R20 99H M+S","manufacturer":"Continental Tire the Americas, LLC"}]}]}
