Description of the problem	Greetings. I am writing to you regarding my 2008 highlander sport, serial number [xxx]. Specifically, i am writing about the oem tires, toyo open country, dot cxhh, dk82508. As of today, i have 23, 897 miles on the vehicle; and the tires are completely worn out to a point below the wear bars, which indicates that they must be replaced now. When i purchased the vehicle in october 2008, i purchased the toyota maintenance program, so the tires are rotated and balanced (if necessary) every 5,000 miles when i also change the oil. I am a 46 year old father of three small children, with no moving violations, tickets or accidents. I tell you this about my life to indicate the type of conservative driver that i am. I have conducted extensive research online and have identified the lowest price for a set of four tires at $759. 88, which will actually more expensive during the buy due to the tpms system, the necessity for an alignment when replacing four tires, and tax. I realize that tire replacement is just one part of the overall maintenance requirement for a vehicle. However, tires on a $33,000 vehicle should provide far more mileage than 24,000 miles. In fact, if you have the time-i invite you to go the blog titled toyota nation, where all of the writers consistently make disparaging remarks about toyota? S cheap tire selection. So much in fact, writers discuss various methods for overcoming the burden of finding a suitable, well-priced replacement when there are only three companies who make the 245/55-r19. Those companies are toyo, bridgestone and hankook. Most writers convert to a larger tire or a smaller tire with new wheels, which of course affects not only the speedometer/odometer readings, but more importantly performance and possibly safety of the vehicle. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
