4 defective toyo open country at2

so for the past 50 days, i have had the tires balanced 3 times, went to do the fourth at toyota this morning to do a road force balance. guy comes back says- well, i found the issue- you have tread separation on all 4 tires with shifted belts.
p265-75-16 on tacoma pro wheels btw.

so now i have to fight to get them replaced.
Anyone ever have an issue like this before???? Im pissed off, because I keep getting a run around who is liable. called toyo, they are closed. Toyota said it would be best to not drive on them too much. Which, I run 495 to work everyday outside DC...

good thing i keep stock wheels as backups.

 

buy Michelin Defenders, one and done

 

I will look at those, but my question is what happens now when you have a defective tire, or all 4 for that matter.

 

money back guarantee? you should have a certain amount of time to exchange or return tires if your not satisfied with

 

Depends where you bought them, did you get them thru a legit national tire chain?
When I worked for Discount it a tire was obviously bad and had a manufacturer defect, we took care of it, we would credit you for the un used portion say if your tires were 75% you would get that much towards the purchase of what you wanted.
If you bought them online or thru a mom/pop shop that doesn't have much pull on the manufacturer your experience may very.
That's kinda the problem with the online dealers etc.
Better price but ya may end up paying for it if you have a problem.

 

just noticed the OP has 2017 truck, the stock rubber is already worn out? I got a 2014 with 95k miles and the stock Doneflops still have some life left

 

have someone who knows tires look at the date code as to when the tire was manufactured remember the firestone/ ford debacle, that was one of the issues at hand was ford just like any other manufacture buys 1000's of tires at a time! then they sit in a warehouse and wait till they r needed, but as they sit new ones keep coming in so if they don't rotate stock you could've getting old tires. Would you buy food thats past it expiration date? i believe that tire manufacturers say 10 years is the expiration. I had a set of those firestone maypop tires on my old 88 s-10 4x4 i got a recall notice went to a locale firestone they put some other brand on my truck free of charge

 

Where did you read that?

 

i should update that. i have a 2016 dclb now.
regardless, i have new tires on there ha

 

Whoever sold them to you should be your advocate.

Don't expect a refund. Expect replacement tires.

 

so got off the phone with 4wheelparts in glen burnie, my somewhat local shop- they are going get something rolling with a warranty and get me straight. badass.

 

so they rebalanced them. ton of weight, still shakes.
that is 4 different people rebalancing them, 5 different times.
calling toyo. this is bs.

 

just out of curiosity, how many miles are on these defective tires, and how long have they been on your truck

 

So what happened to 'getting you straight' with warranty for defective tires?

Seems like part of the story is missing.....

 

put the stock tires back on, lifes to short to be dealing with Toyo tires

 

2k miles, 50 days.

 

im following up on that tomorrow. im wondering the same thing.

 

thats what im doing as soon as i get home for sure.

 

If you only have 2k on those tires, then there is no reason why you shouldn't be getting new tires from whomever you purchased them from. I would fight for new tires, and tell the dealer you will report them to the BBB if you are not compensated.

 

i had same problem balanced at 3 different shops still no good had balanceing beads put in at ntb tire no more shaking try em
