| Description of the problem | Regarding 2005 toyota sienna investigation pe06010 tires: pressure monitoring and regulating systems which is "closed", i have experienced this twice. Two flat tires, with dunlap run flats, both tires severely damaged by running without enough pressure, no warning lite came on. Scary to think you can drive at freeway speeds and not know you have a flat, but when you exit the car and happen to notice the flat you feel lucky not to have crashed. Toyota dealer says this is just the run flats doing their job. I had two sets of these run flats and have switched to standard radials and feel safer, at least i will know when i have a flat tire while driving! Sorry i don't have the tire/model size info in front of me now but i can look at receipts for further details. I know it was sport something, and 17". The dunlaps went to recycling so i don't have their serial numbers. |
