| Description of the problem | I own a 2004 toyota sienna le awd with dunlop sp sport 4000t dsst tires and the tires are a huge safety risk. I have less that 15,000 miles on them and parts of the tires are worn right down to the belt. After reading posts online it appears that this is a not an isolated incident. Any tire that cost over $300. 00 should not wear down to the point where they can cause a blow out before they even reach 15,000 miles. It's not like these are on a sports car doing burnouts. This is a minivan. My wife and 3 children ride in this van and they have the nerve to put this safety hazard on the road. Toyota and dunlop should be ashamed of themselves. I am still talking to toyota at this point but listening to other people with the same problem it doesn't appear that i am going to get anywhere with them. |
