And side rim of tire has big cut.it was at the time of traffic at 5 pm and I was very close to hit sidewall of highway. Last week again I discovered that other two tires continental contiprocontact on same car has a bubble on the sidewall. The bubble is within a quater to half of an inch to the rim. After a day one tire was flat and big cut I see at same place where bubble was. I called mercedez benz as my car is still under warranty and I was told that it has happened because of pothole and you have to replace all the 4 tires. I only drive car for work and I never hit pothole it looks like there is manufacturing defect with tire. I am sorry to say that even car is under warranty mercedes is not doing anything and there is no recall on tire. I have noticed many people complaining about bubble issue with the tire. Continental tire should be taking care of the tire as it only has 15k miles

My vehicle wears the insides of front and back tires. Have done wheel alignments, toe-ins and other remedies. The problem with this is that your tires wear down prematurely and the unsuspecting driver drives and the tires wear down to the threads and explodes. This is because they did not expect their tires to last half or less of the thread life due to this unusual wear, and no one can figure out why this is happening. Also, because of the area that it wears the average person would not even notice it. Vehicles going highway speeds (55-70 MPH) could have blowouts and kill themselves and others on the road.
