I HAVE A BRAND NEW TOYOTA SIENNA AND THE TIRES SEEM TO START SHOWING SIGN OF WEARING OFF IN 6 MONTHS, AS IF IT HAS ALIGNMENT ISSUES OR SOMETHING. THE CAR DOES NOT PULL TO ONE SIDE OR ANYTHING. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT IT COULD BE THE TIRE PRESSURE THAT NEEDS TO BE KEPT UP AND THEY SAID THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO MAKE SURE IF THE PRESSURE IS GOOD? ALSO THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TIRES THESE DAYS ARE SOFTER SO THEY DON'T LAST AS LONG? THIS ALL SEEMS A LITTLE HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE. OEM TIRE WARRANTY UP TO 60K BUT NOT LAST LONG . JUST CHANGE NEW SETS OF TIRE WITH ALIGNMENT . TOYOTA ENGINEERING NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE
