| Description of the problem | We purchased a toyota sienna may 2003(2004 model), it has 20,696 miles and the front two tires are completely worn on the outside edge of the tire, the steel is even showing on one of them. The tires on the sienna are the bridgestone b380 p225/60 r17 98t these are run flat tires,was not aware of until today. I have done all routine maintenance on the car. I have spoken to the dealer, toyota, and bridgestone no one seems to be helping and excepting responsibility. It is not right that i am only getting that low mileage on theses tires and the fact that it cost so much to replace them. If i was aware of this at the time of purchase would not have bought it, one reason for buying it was the longevity and low maintenance of toyotas. Even if i do not replace the tires with run flat tires the car does not come equipped with a spare, which would be an additional expense and then the spare would sit in the cargo space where i would not be able to fold the third row seat. *nm |
