We own a 2005 Mercedes Benz CLK 320 Caboret. My wife drives it.

Since day one, I have driven it on Michelin tires. My problem is that the tires are constantly blowing out. The car had 12,000 miles on it when we purchased it. It now has 90000. Within the 78000 miles that we put on it, I have replaced all four tires at least three times. Twice I have found nails in one of the tires, the rest of the times the tires just blew out. The front and rear tires are different sizes, so I cannot rotate them. Has Mercedes benz had design problems with this vehicle which causes the tires to wear out? or are the Michelin tires (225/45R17)not good tires?
