Description of the problem | I have a 2009 toyota camry le that i have owned for less than two years. Currently has less than 13,000 miles. The 40,000 mile bridgestone turanza tires, size 215/60/16 that came with this car, have worn down to 5/32 within 18 months. That is 1/2 of the tread gone. Minimal city driving with very little freeway driving. Always properly inflated and rotated every 5,000 miles . I have had to replace the tires. I did not replace them through the toyota dealership. I purchased quality tires elsewhere. It is ridiculous that a consumer spends over $20,000 for a vehicle and must replace the tires with so few miles. After reading all of the negative reports about these tires from consumers, i did not complain to toyota or bridgestone, because it is apparently a lost cause. I am totally disgusted with toyota and the poor quality they have been selling over the past few years. |
