Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: After only 19,000 miles of use, the run-flat tires on my toyota sienna have been worn away significantly to a dangerous level. the dealer has recommended only replacement with the same exact tire model, as no other tire brand or model may be used with this vehicle. at only 6,000 miles one tire had failed spontaneously without triggering the low-pressure warning system. i had been told by dealer the non-visible edge of tire (side facing toward the vehicle) had worn through the tread completely. that tire was replaced at my cost, assuming it was a unique and isolated incident. i see now that these tires are inadequate. *jb
