“We bought 4 new sumitomo tour plus lxt tires for our 2008 Toyota 4RUNNER in june of 2013. Two years and 50,000 miles later, we felt a severe wobble in the tires and took the car to the shop. The two rear tires had separating belts and were replaced. Four months later, the two front tires exhibited the same problems. Another tire shop mechanic (different shop and mechanic than who diagnosed the first two tires) said the belts in the tires were separating and these two tires were also replaced.”
