Toyota Prius Tires Safety Report | Apr 06, 2012
Reported on Apr 06, 2012
| I BOUGHT 4 NEW PIRELLI CINTURATO P5 TIRES FOR MY 2006 TOYOTA PRIUS IN JUNE OF 2009 FROM DISCOUNT TIRE. I WAS TOLD THAT THESE TIRES WOULD LAST FOR 85,000 MILES BEFORE HAVING TO REPLACE THEM. SINCE THEN I REGULARLY ROTATED AND BALANCED THEM. WHEN I WENT TO GET MY TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED AGAIN 6/2009, I WAS TOLD THAT TWO OF THE TIRES ARE ALREADY WORN OUT AND I WOULD BE BETTER OFF TO GET TWO NEW TIRES TO KEEP ME SAFE WHILE DRIVING. I INFORMED THE SALES PERSONNEL THAT THESE TIRES ARE JUST 3 YEARS OLD AND WITH 40,400 MILES SINCE PURCHASED. HE MENTIONED TO ME THAT TIRES MANY A TIMES DO NOT GIVE THE MILEAGE THEY ARE RATED FOR. IN MY CASE, I GOT LESS THAN ONE-HALF THE RATED MILEAGE. WITH MY DRIVING PATTERN (13,000 MILES/YEAR), I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED THESE TIRES TO LAST FOR ABOUT SIX YEARS AS I TAKE GOOD CARE (ROTATING, BALANCING, AND ALIGNMENT) OF THEM. *TR | |
