original tire life and where to buy replacements

[shagzie]

I've got under 12,000 miles on my 2008 hybrid highlander and the tires are almost worn out. I don't drive this car hard or fast. I'm getting about 29mpg on every tank here in the mountains of WV.

I just looked on tirerack and they only show bridgestone as the correct size. The reviews on that tire show that the wear is almost as fast as the stock tires.

My last SUV was a Jeep Grand Cherokee had the original tires lasted over 75,000 miles. Is there not something like that for this car? Am I going to be forced to buy new wheels just so I can get a normal tire?

Anyone else noticed their stock tires wearing quickly? Anyone had to buy a new set of tires yet?

A firend of mine said his parents have a toyota sienna and they got free tires from toyota at 18,000 because the wear was so bad. I have not tried going up the chain of command at toyota yet with this complaint but wanted to check online to see other's experiences first.

Thanks!

unfortunately OEM tires on nearly all cars have taken a dive in quality. I have noticed the same Goodyear Integrities that came on my Prius on alot of new cars everything from Dodge Chargers to Lexus'. The tires not only wear incredibly fast they handle very poorly when half the tread is still left.

My 2006 HiHy 4WD-i came with 225/65R17 Goodyear Integrity tires. I replaced them at 6K miles as they were ~40% worn and I was planning a snow trip. I bought Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza and they are a big improvement.

I assume that you have 19" wheels since you say that Tirerack only shows Bridgestone tires. If you move down to 17" wheels you'll have a much bigger selection.
