Default Heavy duty rubber mats and goodyear tires made in JAPAN

I bought the heavy duty ribbed rubber mats and they cracked within 10 months of being new , I was told toyota looked at this as normal wear, Goodyear tires made in Japan ware out fast as well. I think Toyota needs to find and American company to make floor mats and tires for them. I wood order the nice carpeted mats.

You do realize your car was made in Japan, right? Making those items in America won't necessarily make them better quality. That's like saying a GM product is better quality because it's assembled in the US. Ha ha ha, that would be the day....

Err... how is it normal wear and tear?!? Our '05 rubber mats were bought just after we took delivery of the car. After 5 years, they still look new.

I have the Toyota rubber mats in my 07 and they are used in it all year and they look like new.

However the Goodyear tires we I dident give a chance as I took them off immediately and put on Bridgestone
RE960 Pole Position tires.
