Tires losing air and noticed the rubber breaking down and separating from the sidewall on all four tires. Took into Evans dealership and they informed us the tires were a safety issue and tried to sell new tires. They told us the tires were made in 93 but we bought in 2016, so we looked up and DOT number on tire (only had u093). The service tech did not understand the DOT numbers since it was missing the last four numbers. They do have a date on the paperwork U09304160416 The tires only have approximately 25, 000 miles and car is garage kept. Rubber should not be breaking down. What can we do? We had no idea about the date until they pointed it out. Legally these tires are a safety issue. Tires P 195/60R15

This a second pair of new tires we buy. They were worn unevenly. We do tire rotation every 5,000 miles and alignment every 10,000 miles. However, the car its the tires very unevenly. The tire pressure is checked and kept at the given manufacturer recommendations. All my friends that own toyota's have similar problems. This is a serious issue that could lead to an accident if the tires get torn when driving. Plus we are damaging the environment when we are replacing the tires so often. I had similar tires in a different car, they lasted 90,000 miles. Here I cannot get 25,000 miles out of them.
