2011 toyota highlander with less than 13k miles has tires with very little tread left on them. Was told by toyota tech that it needs new tires. Less than one year old and the tires are balding. This poses a safety hazard and is not acceptable. *tr

Toyota highlander (2008) with toyo a20 tires. Extremely high wear with low mileage; car hydroplanes with minimal wet road surface, power wheels lose traction, even with slow start. The toyo tire treads are almost worn off at 23000 miles; when in normal driving, one should expect 45000 miles. This is a very poor quality oem tire, and should be recalled. *tr
