WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR TEXAS WAS IN A DROUGHT SO UNTIL IT STARTED RAINING HERE IN DALLAS I DID NOT KNOW THE CAR HYDROPLANED. I CHECKED THE AIR IN THE TIRES I DID ALL I COULD DO TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AND THEIR WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR OTHER THAN THE TIRES. I REPORTED THIS TO TOYOTA SITE, I TOLD THE GUY WHO SOLD ME MY CAR, I SENT AN EMAIL TO GENERAL TIRES, TOYOTA NOR GENERAL TIRES EMAILED ME BACK. I HAVE ABOUT 22,000 MILES ON THE CAR NOW THE TIRES ARE WORE IN THE FRONT SO BEFORE I GO ON VACATION IN JUNE I WILL HAVE TO PURCHASE NEW TIRES. SO FAR I HAVE KEPT CONTROL OF THE TIRE ONE TIME I DID SLIDE INTO THE CURB AND THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO FLIP, BUT THANK GOD NOT TOYOTA OR GENERAL WE DID NOT. I DON'T HAVE ANY CLAIMS AGAINST ANYONE, BUT THIS CAR OR THESE TIRES ARE NOT SAFE AND SOMETHING DOES NEED TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. THANKS FOR WHATEVER YOU CAN DO.*AK (DOT NUMBER: ACUR3HU409 TIRESIZE: P205/65R15)
