| Description of the problem | My 2006 toyota rav4 sport only has about 20000 miles but i already changed 3 of 4 tires. First tire flattened on highway, they were unfixable so i bought new tires. The tire shop found an inch cut between thread. About one month later another tire flattened, they found the same kind of cut like the first tire. About another month later the third tire flattened, this time they found a pinhole but they did not find any nail. Three months in a row happened to three different tires ? |
