| Description of the problem | I only have 18,000 miles on my 2004 toyota sienna and my run-flat tires are bald and have been advised not to take my vehicle out on a highway. From all the complaints out there, these tires should be recalled and a class-action suit against toyota (who is trying to wash their hands of the whole situation) and dunlop should be filed. Toyota makes it sound like an advantage to have these on their $40,000 vehicle, and then their service department tells me now that some people are getting only 10,000 miles out of these terribly expensive tires and offers to sell me new non-run-flat michelin tires for almost $800. This doesn't seem right and think something legal needs to happen before toyota will do the right thing. Btw, tire pressure readings and rotations were done on a regular basis. |
