Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Toyo open country a20 tires 245/55/19 which came as standard equipment on 2008 toyota highlander hybrid wore significantly and prematurely. At 18000 miles these tires were worn nearly to the wear bars resulting in extremely poor wet and snow traction leading to sliding and hydroplaning. The tread also began to peel on one tire. I did not notice the wear until it was pointed out by a mechanic as they looked good from a distance and i didn't think to check the tread on a 60,000 mile warranty tire at only 18000 miles. Toyota states that this is normal wear and toyo does not honor a mileage warranty on oem tires. These are dangerous tire as they were sold on one of the best selling family vehicles in the industry and could result in a serious accident especially coming into the winter months as owners of low mileage vehicles may not realize that the tires are actually complete worn out already.
