Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG tires repeatedly flat from minor pothole contact during long trips on Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG

Problem overview

Some Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG owners report experiencing repeated flat tires due to minor pothole contact during long trips. These issues may stem from the vehicle's run-flat tires, which, while designed to withstand some punctures, can transmit impacts directly to the wheels, leading to discomfort and potential damage. Additionally, some owners suggest that switching to all-season, non-run-flat tires could alleviate these problems, as they may provide better cushioning against road imperfections. Ensuring proper tire pressure is also crucial, as incorrect inflation can affect performance and durability on long journeys. Furthermore, selecting tires with a higher tread wear rating may enhance resilience against road hazards. Lastly, being mindful of driving habits, particularly when navigating potholes, can help reduce the risk of tire damage and flats.
