| Description of the problem | My 2004 sienna le awd has premature tire failure. We have owned the vehicle for 2 years and less than 35000 miles however we are getting ready to buy 4 new tires for the vehicle after replacing 2 tires at approximately 17k. When we bought the vehicle we were told how safe the run flat tires were, especially in rural new hampshire so my wife and 2 kids did not worry about being stranded. Unfortunately most repair stations can change or service run flat tires so in addition to unexpected high costs of replacing tires every 15k miles i have to travel to a dealer for service and pay $280 per tire. I believe the combination of tires and vehicle are unacceptable and was not marketed or sold with full disclosure of the issues associated with these tires. I am now looking to convert to conventional tires but there is no place for a spare tire on the vehicle. *jb |
