Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Toyota sienna runflat tires wear to rod by 16,000 miles... started to hear noise in front end tires. a little pull to left .very jittery at 55+mph.. pressure seemed ok- so took to mechanic. he said "run-flat" tires completely worn down to rod.. but go try dealer since only 16,900 miles. called toyota said not their responsiblity- tire co.'s wouldn't even help locate specialty tire shop for special oem dunlop oem (run-flat tires). toyota guy admitted though (on the side) that it may be run-flats as getting many complaints. web indicates many of same experiences at @15-20,000 miles. an accident waiting to happen. they should be recalled immediately before a family gets killed. needless to say we are replacing with regular tires- no fun-flats. this technology may not be ready for prime time and every one is making it oem already. thanks.
