I simply can not believe a…

In addition we have had problems with the front alignment and the car pulls to the left. Have purchased a…

I now notice on the internet that this is a frequent complaint of many other owners of this specific tire, even on other than toyota manufactured vehicles. The tire in…

Toyota refuses to satisfy consumers complaint on faulty tires. The tires that were purchased with the vehicle have inadequate traction on snow covered surfaces. Consumer doesn't' feel any one should have to bear the cost of replacing all four tires for winter conditions. Consumer is seeking reimbursement of monies paid for these replacement tires. *jg
