    :mad: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:eek:, 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.... :lol:

    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
