    Recently became the owner of 04 4runner with what we thought at first glance were new tires. After poor driving conditions and checking the tires we found both front tires with tread chunking off in medium pieces and are unsafe. Both rear tires are fine. We live on a pretty small island where daily drives are at most probably 50 miles max if that. These tires are complete crap and need to be recalled before someone…

    We bought 4 new sumitomo tour plus lxt tires for our 2008 toyota 4runner in june of 2013. Two years and 50,000 miles later, we felt a severe wobble in the tires and took the car to the shop. The two rear tires had separating belts and were replaced. Four months later, the two front tires exhibited the same problems. Another tire shop mechanic (different shop and mechanic than who diagnosed the first two tires) said…

    This complaint concerns the new 2010 toyota 4runner. There is an issue with the braking system and handling for this vehicle. Upon depressing the brakes, the pedal travels a considerable distance sounds squeaky and notchy and delays in stopping. The anti-lock brakes do not interact quickly and often times engaged at the very end of the brake distance and creates a very uncomfortable and unsettling feeling. The…

    I bought this tire from a firestone company. I was driving on the i-60 east coming from work. All of a sudden i heard a loud noise and immediately my car started to shake violently. It went out of control, stirred to the left and hit the highway separator (a concrete road block). The front of my car directly went crash into that concrete barrier in a perpendicular position, making a full frontal contact, that…
