The tires specified for my 2013 Mercedes E350 are Continental 245 40 R 18S. These low profile tires may be fine on the autobahn - but they are dangerous on U.S roads with potholes. In fewer than 2 years, the car violently blew out 5 new tires as a result of potholes (which were not that big/deep). Mercedes is clearly aware of this dangerous tire issue - its reaction to the problem is to ignore the danger and capitalize on it by offering tire replacement insurance (about $800). For me, the blowouts fortunately did not result in crashes or injuries - but, they certainly could have.
