    We bought a 2010 IV with less than 22K miles last weekend. Super excited to make the 100+ mile trip home at 50mpg.

    I have learned so much from reading through this forum and am looking forward to learning more.

    Yeah that's very low miles. Check the manufacture date on the tires, they may be the originals. If so, they could be still roadworthy, but keep in mind they're approaching 10 year mark, and the general consensus is that's really the maximum.

    That's our situation too btw, still rolling on the stock tires (supplemented by snow tire use through winter). The tread is still plenty, but they're close to "aging out".

    Very nice looking car. (y)

    Thanks! Found it in Asheville, NC. Single owner with all service done at Toyota dealership.

    Thanks!

    I believe they are the original tires since I have all of the service records and see no tires purchased. And no, they aren't still road worthy, not much tread left, showing signs of dry rot and one tire that won't hold pressure for more than 36 hours. Already have an appointment tomorrow for new tires.
