Purchased 4 new CS5 grand touring tires that have 80,000 mile "wear out" warranty on January 26, 2016. Miles = 174295. In April 2018, 1 year 4 months later, miles now at 215089 (40K put on, so should have another 40K more) my vehicle would shake, not hold air, I even had problems with air going into through the valve, my vehicle failed an alignment check by an authorized Toyota dealership. Tire tread depth front driver: 4 6 5 5 tire tread depth front pass: 5 6 6 5 tire tread depth rear driver 6 8 8 7 tired tread depth read pass: 6 7 7 6 obviously not going to get another 40K miles out of these tires. In addition the wear on them is inconsistent on each tire. The tire isn't wearing right. Alignment right rear camber: -1.9 -.9. I had an alignment actually two, but one close to this appointment. Take my vehicle into wear I purchased them, the fine print comes into play. Sure the crappy tires, wearing out pourly, not holding air, won't make it 80K, but I pay half for two new tires plus labor, the other two tires do not qualify I'm just sol. Replacement tires to chose from, the exact same tire. So I get to pay for two new tires of the exact same brand and warranty. Update to follow as a "manufacturer defect" has been found in the two tires that were original.

I bought a set of 4 douglas all-season 215/65R16 98T sl tires at walmart. After less than 4 months/600 miles of use, 3 of the tires were diagnosed as separating inside. This is a very dangerous problem that could have cost us our lives. These tires must be recalled. This is unacceptable. If your vehicle shakes at a moderate speed (between 25-40mph) and you have these tires then you should get them replaced immediately. It is not the balance (I had them balanced twice) or the alignment, it is a defect in these particular tires.

I want to know why Toyota is dragging their feet getting the spare tire bracket and cable corrected. I will not have my wife and daughter without a means to replace a flat tire when they are traveling. The fix is simple new mechanism with stainless steel cable and associated hardware. The offer to remove the tire and place that in the trunk is an insult as is not to carry it and call Toyota if they have a flat. This recall has been in place for a very long time and something has to be done. Recall is 14V273000.

While the vehicle was in motion, the spare tire dropped suddenly. Toyota knew about this corrosion problem back in April 20, 2010 with NHTSA campaign number 10V160000. In May 22, 2014, another interim campaign number 14V273000 was issued. Until today, nothing have been followed up to solve the issue. Toyota's customer service just told me that "until they found a permanent solution for this issue, just put the spare tire in the trunk". this type of shirking responsibilities and aloof attitude. The sudden dropped of the tire would have pose a very dangerous conditions to other vehicles if on a busy highway.

The tires do not last more than 18 months on this vehicle. The tire dealer will not warranty tires because it has obvious misalignment based on the tire wear. I had the alignment checked and it is all within factory specs. This is very frustrating. I get less than 20,000 miles on a set of tires that cost $600.

Removed the run flat tires and replaced them with regular tires. I am constantly having the "tire balance" light go off in my car and getting flat tires. Ever since I switched the tires the alignment has always been issue.
- Port Matilda, PA, USA
Run-flat tire went flat without the warning light activation. When it activated, there was already a hole in the tire from running it flat. The second time this happened, which was one week later, there was a hole before the light came on. The tire pressure is checked regularly on this vehicle.
