| Description of the problem | Have the bridgestone tires stock that come with the 2008 highlander. They didn't even make it 28000 miles. While looking up the tire on the manufacturers site, they don't even have a mileage rating. We complained to the toyota customer care site and never received so much as an acknowledgment. Complained to the toyota dealership and were told that toyota sacrifices the mileage of their tire so that we get a better riding tire. In other words, tough. |
