TIRES
THIS V-8 POWERED FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE VEHICLE HAS P265/16 DUNLOP TIRES WHICH ARE ONLY INFLATED TO ONLY 26 P.S.I. ON THE FRONT AXLE. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I THOUGHT THEY HAD PUT THE WRONG TIRE INFLATION STICKER ON MY TRUCK (THE STICKER STATES THE PRESSURE FOR P245/16 TIRES). LIVING IN HOT FLORIDA AND RIDING AROUND ON TIRES THAT ARE HALF-FLAT HAS ME REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT A BLOW-OUT DUE TO AN UNDERINFLATED, HOT TIRE. THE REASON TOYOTA HAS RECOMMENDED SUCH A LOW TIRE PRESSURE IS BECAUSE THEY ARE HAVING VIBRATION PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRUCK - WHEN THE TIRE PRESSURE IS RAISED TO THE PROPER (TIRE MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED INFLATION OF 35 P.S.I.), THEY VEHICLE VIBRATES LIKE CRAZY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NO AMOUNT OF BALANCING OR REPLACEMENT HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM - TOYOTA'S ANSWER IS A DANGEROUS LOWERING OF THE TIRE PRESSURE TO A RIDICULOUS 26P.S.I. ON A V-8 FULL-SIZED PICK-UP WITH A HEAVY FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE DRIVELINE. ALSO, THE TIRE INFORMATION STICKER PLACED ON THE VEHICLE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE INFLATION RECOMMENDATION FOR THE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE. I'M AFRAID OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO A TIRE BLOW-OUT.
