| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The problem occurred with a 2005 toyota sienna that i have owned for approximately one year. at 24,000 miles on the car (mostly highway driving) the front 2 tires were completely bald and the rear tires had almost no tread left on them. the cost for replacement tires was approximately $900 which included a $100 credit per tire from dunlop. i refused to put those tires on my car again since i have three small children and can neither afford the cost or the risk to their safety with inadequate tires. dunlop will also not provide any sort of warranty on their new tires. the cost of new tires (non-runflat) was approximately $450. in addition to the four new tires we also had to obtain a spare tire and wheel and purchase a new jack. there is now a loose tire sitting in the back of our van that can be a safety hazard if we are ever unfortunate enough to be in a severe accident. *jb |
