My 97 4 runner V6 (3.4l)was diagnosed with vibration at high speed approximately +60 mph and local quality toyota dealer at city of corona suggest for tires balancing and rotate. I agreed to pay for and it turned out the bill was $ 289.00 and the same problem still existed. I had contact with owner and q/a dept(3 times) but all of them gave me "runaround". Please help me to stop the "riff-off" from toyota dealer and inform other customers, they be aware of unnecessary repairs. I'm looking forward to hear from you. Thanks a lot. Have a pleasant day. *jb

I was driving a 1997 toyota tacoma going about 65 mph on I-45 north in houston texas when I had a tire blowout just before the airline exit. I lost control of my truck smashing into the concrete barricade on the freeway and doing a complete 360 circle on the freeway, luckily I didn't hit any one else. the tire that blew was a uniroyal p205/75r14ww unir as tire. the blowout occurred on the side wall of the tire. my pickup truck as far as I'm concerned IS a total loss. when I bought the tires, the tires came with a 40,000 mile warranty, but that did not happen. I had 35,000 miles on the tire that blowout occurred. to me it looks like the tire failure occurred from the manufacture. in todays world tire failures are not suppose to happen. sincerely, roy korthals. *jb
