Sequoia

  • 1,000 miles
2008 Toyota Sequoia was purchased with tires installed with a different brand and size from the spare. Spare can only be used for short time emergency use under 50 miles an hour. If a tire fails on a trip on an interstate and spare is installed vehicle will not handle or perform 100%. this places driver and passengers at risk. Not all people understand this risk and the owners manual explains this poorly. Most people will change the tire and drive on the spare normally. All vehicles should be equipped with the same brand and size of tire. If the spare not having a TPMS installed is the issue then should install a sensor in the spare of offer to install one for the owner. My Lexus had 5 tires all including the spare was the same brand, size and had TPMS sensors installed in all tires. Some how Toyota is saving money installing two different brands and sizes of tires on their vehicles.
