2015 Toyota Sienna SE Excessive tire wear
Asked by Doral305 Aug 29, 2018 at 09:05 PM about the 2015 Toyota Sienna SE 8-Passenger
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
My 2015 Toyota Sienna SE has worn out the tires. They are Michelins. I believe
Toyota made a big mistake putting low profile tires on this van. Perhaps the
weight of the van is wearing out the tires prematurely. Has anyone else had the
same problem with the SE model?

Probably an alignment problem. Low profile tires don'e wear faster than other tires unless they are soft/high performance tires which would not have come on a mini van.
It is not. The tires have been aligned, balanced and rotated at the expected intervals. The wear is even across the tires. These Michelins wore out quicker than expected. I am not even going to request the warranty, because they will give me a pro ratio and the Michelins are too expensive. I had a 2007 Honda Odyssey and I put General Grabber tires on it that lasted twice the amount of these ones. However General does not make the size for my van.
When you leave out all the pertinent information you don't get the best answers. Buy a tire with a high wear rating. Michelin makes tires that can go 80,000 miles. Stock tires are usually cheap and fast wearing.
