| Description of the problem | All four dunlop sp sport 4000t dsst run-flat tires on my 2004 toyota sienna xle awd are completely worn after 13,800 miles. These are original tires. Both toyota and dunlop do not want to take any responsibility for this issue despite the numerous complaints being made here and elsewhere reported in depth in the internet. A reasonable consumer would expect that these tires would be engineer to last more than 10k miles given they are each $300 a piece. Please assist me and numerous other toyota owners with similar problems by conducting a defect investigation and ultimately assisting in a formal recall of these tires and the associated problems causing the tire failures. I am afraid that replacing the tires every year at a cost of $1400 won't solve the problem which appears to have some relationship to vehicle alignment issues as well as poor tire longevity. |
