My '02 toyota camry xle has 115,530 miles on the odometer and I have had to replace all four tires four times over this period (details below). At this point, firestone believes the problem lies with the engineering of the car somehow because their maintenance log supports the fact that I have given these tires the proper care (regular alignment checks, tire balance/rotation every 4k miles, and maintaining proper air pressure) and they are no longer willing to honor tire warranties for this vehicle because each time the tires are replaced, they are under the warranty. They claim that the probability of the problem lying with the tires is virtually impossible, given this tire history. Here are the details of dates, odometer readings, and tire details each time they were replaced: first set replaced 10/3/04 with 26,712 miles on odometer (with firestone 106879 affinity lh30 p215/60r16 tlbl ps). Second set replaced 9/1/06 with 49,619 miles on odometer (with bridgestone 109355 turanza ls-t w/uni-t aw bl p215/60r16 94t 80,000 warranty). Third set replaced with 91,000 miles on odometer (misplaced paperwork on details, but can provide from firestone database if needed). Fourth set replaced 7/23/13 with 115,530 on odometer (with bridgestone 147127 turanza w.serenity plus bl 215/60r16 95v 75,000 warranty).

No failure yet but the sidewalls of the tires are badly checked. The tires are only 5 years old and the car has been garaged or parked in the shade most of the time. There is still close to half the tread life left. I put in todays date for the "approximate incident date" just because a date is required, but there has not been an incident.

I bought 4 new pirelli cinturato p5 tires for my 2002 toyota camry in february of 2010 from discount tire. I was told that these tires they easily last for 85,000 miles before having to replace them. Since then I gone back to discount tire to have them regularly rotated and balanced. Last tire rotation was in the month of december 2011. When I went to get my tires rotated and balanced again on 3-23-2012, I was told that two of the tires are already worn out and other two are close to getting worn out and I would be better off to get new tires to keep me safe while driving. I informed the sales personnel that these tires are just two years old and with less than 27,000 miles since purchased. He mentioned to me that tires many a times do not give the mileage they are rated for. In my case, I got less than 1/3rd of the rated mileage. With my driving pattern (12,000 miles/year), I would have expected these tires to last for about six years as I take good care (rotating, balancing, and alignment) of them.
