Tires tread wore below legal depth prior to 20,000 miles on the tires, creating a hazard which cause my daughter to hydroplain on almost dry road - car went into a grass median taking out a sign and much damage to the vehicle. This was on a 2004 camry that was purchased new - just had it in to the dealer for an oil change and they rotated the tires - never mentioned the wear on the tires. When the tires were evaluated at the tire dealership - it was not due to improper air pressure or alignment - the wear was all over the tire.

Air pressure was correct. Sidewall failed. Tire blew out. New tire purchased.
Dt: consumer bought a new toyota camry in 2004. The salesman represented the tires at 50,000 miles with no problems. In one year, the tire had less than 21,000 miles and all four were bald. There is a need for 4 new tires. Consumer called toyota customer service and was told that their tires only had 20-30,000 miles on tires. Consumer had been driving with grandchildren in car on those supposedly 50,000 mile tires thinking they had longer wear. Vehicle now needs all new tires after one year and less than 21,000 miles. Consumer took a trip to florida @ 14,000 miles and after picking up a tack went to dealer to get repaired and service dealer noted there was uneven wear on tires. Called toyota and was told it would take 3-5 days. Took to firestone instead who rotated tires and said the tires were normal. Yesterday was told the tires were ready to blow, the steel belts were about to come.
I have a new 2004 camry 4 cyl. Le sedan with 5500 miles on the original birdgestone tires. These tires have very poor traction on rainy roads and with even light snow you can slide easly at 3 MPH as we did. These tires are dangerous and should not be allowed on the market. Shame on toyota for putting such sub-standard equipment on their cars. Advertisement says these tires are all season tires, bridgestone suggested I pay for upgraded tires. I say whay should I pay for proprer all season tire s that were suppose to come on the car.
We purchased a 2004 toyota camry le and live in syracuse, ny. We receive about 190" of snow per year and they put goodyear integrity "all season" tires on this car. We have slid through several stop signs and intersections. These tires are touted as "all-season" but when we called goodyear they said that they weren't intended to be driven in the snow. When I asked her if winter was a season, she said yes but.....I asked how much snow can these tires drive through and still perform and she stated 2-4 inches is the norm. Bottom line...these tires are unsafe at best. They are dangerous. They don't even perform well in rain. If you have these tires, call and complain to goodyear immediately. They shouldn't be able to put these tires on anyone's car. Why even bother with ABS and airbags if the tires can't stop the car?

I rented a 2004 toyota camry with approximately 9400 miles from hertz local edition on n dale mabry ave in tampa fl. About 45 minutes later, I was on my way to orlando with my 11 month old son via interstate 4 when I heard a loud noise coming from the vehicle. I moved over to the last lane so I could take the next exit to check the car when I heard and saw the back left tire explode. Due to the explosion the car jerked towards the right so fast that I almost ended up in a large ditch on the side of I-4. I called emergency services and reported the incident and later that day returned the car for a replacement. I had both of the reservationists look at the tire and they confirmed that it looked as if it had exploded from the inside out. I received and email from hertz, which basically stated that their sorry for the problem, they inspect their cars, and sometimes things can happen.
The consumer was driving when the rear driver side tire shredded.
