I found out for the first time about OEM tires that don't last long. My 2021 Corolla had a slow leak in one tire. The guy at Discount tire repaired it for no cost. It was a small screw near the center of the tread. The car has 4000 miles on it. I am retired and don't drive a lot. The tires only have 7/32nds of tread on them. I assume Yokohama made Toyota some lower cost tires with less tread than they put on most of their new tires sold at tire stores. I would expect at least 10/32nds of tread after 4000 miles. I was told they might last 35,000 miles. I already let Toyota know what I think. They are trying to pawn it off on the tire manufacturer, instead of just telling the truth. Just put good tires on the cars for 200 dollars extra and stop with the aftermarket garbage like double price running boards, mud flaps, and 400 dollar floor mats. 1700 for parking assist is normal on Toyota cars too. I told them they don't have the market cornered on reliable cars. I have about made up my mind to go with Honda next time and negotiate the tires off the car for new tires from Discount tire. They can sell the takeoffs and put on new tires for about 300 dollars. Take that off the markup on their 699 dollar two extra oil change extended service adder. That or the mud flaps or floormat mark up.
