Consumer inspected the tires and the belts wore into the steel. Tires were replaced on the front four times. Vehicle was aligned several times but the tires continued to wear. They were replaced with the same make/model tire.

The tires on our 2001 Prius continually fail after about 15,000 miles. We have had state inspections fail because of tread wear, refused service at Bridgestone dealers because of tread wear. With less than 50K miles we are working on the third set of tires. We check pressure and rotate our tires regularly. Since Toyota claims there are no replacements and no tread wear warranties, we think the car should no longer be allowed on the us market.

Consumer took vehicle to a shop for a routine check up and mechanic inspected front tires, and noticed that on both tires tread began to separate. They were bridge stone/ Firestone tires. Dealership was aware of problem.
