| Description of the problem | Extremely rapid tire wear on dunlop run flat tires that were original equipment on a 2005 toyota sienna awd van. The tires have been rotated several times. At less than 17,000 miles at least one is down to the wear markers. The others are not far behind. I have discovered that this is ongoing issue for nearly all owners of these awd vans. These are very expensive top of the line tires. Now a days 40,000 + miles is the norm! I can't believe that a $33,000+ vehicle is sold legally with such inferior equipment tires!. *jb |
