2017 TOYOTA CAMRY Tires Problems

Four (4) General Tire Reliatrek P205/65R16 95H were purchased on August 6, 2024 at Toyota Greenville located in Greenville, South Carolina, with mileage on my car at 138,174. At my last service in late December 2025, with 175, 777 miles on my car, i was told by Toyota Greenville that two of them needed replaced, with the others marginal. It was recommended by Toyota to have all four replaced. The promised warranty of these tires was 65,000 miles. I only put 37,603 miles on these tires, indicating severe premature wear and manufacturer defect. The tire manufacturer was contacted by Toyota about this safety concern, but little to no compensation was offered. The tires have been serviced at Toyota Greenville, and records can be provided (including photos) since time of purchase.

THE SIDEWALKS OF MY NEW TIRES (UNDER 10K MILES) SEEM TO HAVE WEAR ON THEM. IT'S AS IF THE TIRES DON'T HOLD UP DURING TURNS. IF MY GUESS IS CORRECT, THEN THESE TIRES ARE VERY UNSAFE. THEY ARE HANKOOK S1 VENTUS NOBLE. P215/55R17

BRIDGESTONE DRIVEGUARD TIRES ARE EXTREMELY SUSCEPTIBLE TO SIDEWALL DAMAGE FROM POTHOLES! I HAVE 225 45 18 TIRES ON MY 2012 CAMRY. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIRE I'VE HAD THE SIDEWALL FAIL THE EXACT SAME WAY SINCE BUYING THEM 2 YEARS AGO. THIS TIME IT WAS WHILE PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN AT MAYBE 20 MPH. EVERY TIME THERE IS A 3 TO 4 INCH CUT ALONG THE BEAD OF THE TIRE THROUGH THE CORDS. I WORK FOR FIRESTONE AND HAVE SEEN THE SAME PATTERN MANY TIMES ON VARIOUS CAR, NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO SIZE. IT IS PERFECTLY CLEAR TO ME THESE TIRES ARE UNSAFE FOR REAL WORLD USE
