Description of the problem	I purchased a 2008 highlander by toyota. After driving 20k miles , i noticed a vibration in my steering. I then noticed my tires belts were separating and the tread on all was worn down to almost zero. I took my car to the dealer where it was purchased and they said there is no mileage warranty. Yet my understanding was 60 months. When i read it again it said 60 months or the amount of tread left. New tires $900. These tires are a hazard to public safety. I have never had a new vehicle need new tires when it is barely one year old. The tires were removed before i had an incident. I have noticed numerous complaints about these tires on various web sites.
