Purchased affinity LH 30 tires for 2003 Toyota Matrix. Tires wearing even but all are starting to develop cracks near edge of tread. Tires only have 25000 miles on them and tread depth average is 8/32.
The original equipment tires had no traction and caused the vehicle to slide in the snow. Consumer requested the dealership reimburse for purchase of snow tires.
Purchased a 2003 Matrix rs with option pk that included 17" wheels, ABS, all weather guard package, and sports trim. First snow I found out the package with a includes summer only tires. My mistake for not checking the tires, but the ABS brakes and all weather guard package lead me to believe the car was ready for winter. It is very dangerous to drive with current tires.
