| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: This is the 3rd set of tires i have had to put on the car due to uneven wear. i only have 48000 miles on the car. the tires wear as though they are under inflated, but i am careful to be sure that i am following the manufacturers recommendation for tire inflation. since this is the only tire useable on this car, i am very disappointed in toyota's response to the problem. since toyota probably gave the specs to bridgestone to manufacture the tire, it is toyota's responsibility to assure that the tire was designed to be to have a normal tread life as well as help the car function efficiently. it is really tough to have to pay $80.00 a tire and have it only last 25000 miles. yes i have had the dealer servicing the car and rotating the tires and the alignment is fine. the problem is the tire that toyota requires to be used on the prius. |
