Probably have to pop for four tires at 60,000. It's certainly been a
no-drama vehicle so far. :)


Surprised they turned rotors. Most these days replace as not a lot of
extra meat.


They just buff them out.

I have an 18 y/o Tundra with 130,000 miles on it. Good vehicle except
for the rotors. I finally got some 3rd party rotors that are drilled
and slotted. So far so good.

I'm starting to think about replacement tires. Haven't done any research
yet. Mostly paved road driving, a bit of snow driving. Need good
traction in rain, quiet tires. 17"-ers.

I replaced the original equipment tires on my 2013 Highlander with Michelin tires. Couldn't believe it how quick they wore down. Costco got me a warranty credit and replaced those with All Weather tires...which are in-between all season and real winter tires. So far, so good.
BTW... just turned 65000 kilometers on the clock.


Whose all-weather tires?


Most general purpose steel radials are marked M&S.
It is only when you get up into the "performance" tires that they are
not.
Some may be better than others but in Southern Md, snow is not that
big a deal. My niece just posted an article that said it has been
almost 2 years since they got an inch of snow. I used to run into it a
lot in Northern Montgomery county but by the time I got to the other
side of the Beltway it was sleet and freezing rain.

Goodrich Advantage T/A Sport LT 17 inches also.
These are what the Costco tire manager recommended considering my driving habits of mostly low milage city driving.

For the haters in here the LT stands for light truck


So again you take some salesman's "advice" on what to buy? You didn't learn your lesson with the bad boat purchases?

There's one born every day... two in Kanada.

Oh, and you can put any tire you want on a car-like SUV. Tire Rack categorizes it as a "Tire Category: Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season" No truck mentioned.

Is he saying that he wore out 2 sets of tires in under 40000 miles?

At this point an oil change mightdouble the value ;-)


Mine is 12. I treat it to an oil change once a year weather it
needs it or not. I replaced 1 strut because it was leaking a bit.
Brakes are original. Emergency brake got dragged about 200 miles.
Needless to say the pads were worn to metal and the drums were
well grooved. I finally got around to fixing them last year. $29
for new shoes. Took a drum sander on an electric drill to the
grooved brake drums using the grooves as a guide to removing
material. Good to go now. I'm on my 5th set of tires. The
odometer shows less than half the rolling miles. Hondas are good
cars.

Don't listen to "they'. They're the ones who caused you to make
poor purchasing decisions.
Turning corners is hard on tires. I suspect your city driving is
going to wear out any set of tires quickly. the best you can do
is keep your tires inflated and check your front and rear end
allignment.
