| Description of the problem | I purchased a new 2007 toyota camry in may 2006. I have had the tires, bridgestone turanza el-400 ,rotated regularly since purchasing the car. I have problems with the tires squealing upon breaking and noticed that the tire treads are wearing prematurely. I took the car to the dealer where i purchased the car and a bridgestone dealer who advised that the tires were not wearing evenly but they could be replaced at a fee of over $400. I presently have 12,300 miles on my car and the tires need to be replaced. |
