Only six months after installation as a set of 4 new tires at Sam's Club in May 2021, multiple cracks start to develop around the rims on both inside and outside of the tires. With time, the cracks grow in size. This happens on two tires, one is on the front passage side, and the other on the rear driver side.

I bought four Goodyear assurance triple tread tires on Jan. 29, 2013. After about a year I started having problems with maintaining air pressure in the tires. I took the vehicle back to where I bought the tires and they would do maintenance such as remounting or replacing valve stems. I still would have air pressure issues. On Dec. 9, 2016 while driving on the highway I noticed a thumping noise. It got progressively louder and made the vehicle sway. I pulled to the emergency berm and saw that I had a flat tire. I took the tire back to conrad's tire express & total care which where I bought the tires from. The service technician put air in the tire and said that there were broken belts in the side wall. He laid the blame to a road hazard problem and laid the blame of losing air to defective Toyota rims, even though with the original tires on the vehicle I never experienced a problem of losing air from the tires. My opinion is that the tires must be defective since they can not maintain air pressure. This is a real concern since the possibility of someone being injured or killed because of a tire blow out.

When going around curves at varying speeds, traction control light comes on and wheels shake. Happens once or twice a week. Happens when roads completely dry. Seems like a flaw and I'm worried of catastrophic failure while driving.

2007 Highlander wheels are rusting so bad that 2 of 4 tires are losing air pressure. This 2007 was purchased new from Toyota. We had previously purchased a 2002 Highlander with the exact same issue. I search online and see other people have had same issue with Toyota wheels. Wheels should not rust this bad in this short a period of time and mileage. Luckily we had no safety issue because I monitor our vehicles closely. Low tire pressure could definitely cause a safety concern for people who do not monitor their cars as closely as I do. I feel Toyota has a quality and a safety issue with these wheels.
