From all the complaints out there, these tires should be recalled and a class-action suit against toyota (who is trying to wash their hands of the whole situation) and dunlop should be filed.

    Toyota sienna (2004+) awd models use run-flat tires since no spare tire is provided by toyota. These run-flat tires are defective in that they wear out exceedingly fast. Mine are nearly worn out at 17k miles on my 2004 sienna. At a equipment and labor replacement cost of ~ $1600 for all 4 tires, this is unacceptable. If you search the internet, this is a well known problem with the siennas using run-flats. Tires…
