Replying to: calessan (Mar 15, 2009 6:14 am) The main reason Toyota has gone with the run flats was the fact that while you can store the mini spare behind the rear most seat, you can no longer fold down that seat on the AWD model. This has not been much of an issue for me in the last year. The benefits in ride and handling have been MORE than worth it.

I DID NOT RECEIVE a written notification from Toyota that I could have replaced my B380 run flat tires due to excessive wear. 4 out of 5 oil changes to date were done at Toyota Dealer. Each time dealer noticed uneven wear on the tires and recommended that I BUY a new set ... or at the very least do a rotation. Have a record of doing 4 Rotations at Toyota Dealers. Another oil change was done on our one and only long trip with this van and not at a Toyota dealership. Sienna van has 28K miles now yet the warranty on the tires expired 4 mos ago. I just found out about this issue. So far, dealer had managed to convince me that it was my driving style that was causing the excessive wear on the inner part of the front tires. Toyota Corp's response as to why the dealer did not offer the exchange the tires was: "The dealer must not have thought that the wear was excessive." Yet, the dealer did not forget to get me to buy either a new set or "at the very least do a rotation" ... of which I have done 4X. Does anyone know whether Toyota reached a lump sum agreement with Bridgestone regarding this issue. If so, Toyota Corp and its Dealer network would be financially motivated to minimize the cost. If discovered, that amounts to Fraud. Any recourse? |

Can someone tell me if the wheels/rims on the AWD will support normal tires (not run flats)? I have a 2009 and after seeing the review on the Dunlap run flats and peoples' posting of poor durability I am thinking it would be better to replace them with normal tires. If I did need to replace one while on travel, it sounds like it would be a major problem rather than a 3 hour stop at any tire repair shop it could take a day just to get the tire. If anyone has replaced them with normal tires, is there any impact on handling? |

We have to replace our tires at least once a year on our 2004 Sienna. They never make it to the mileage they are supposed to. We rotate and balance. We have tried different brands, different types, but they wear way too quickly. Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, what did you do?
