Hi, I'm looking for help from independent source. My '04 LC 120 has alu rims and dunlop gradtrek AT tires. I use my lc mainly on asphalt roads. After 40k km tires usage (truth is that it is less that 40k because last winter I had winter tires). I have noticed during summer-winter wheels change that my dunloap summer front tires look aggressively used on the outer edge. The balans of my wheels was checked in may and now is OK too. Guys from toyota service say that this is normal for 4x4 cars and it is caused by weight of vehicle, vehicle high position of center of gravity and force while turning . It doesn't convince me in 100%. I posted that problem to Toyota Customer Service. By now they want to look at my tires. I would like to be prepared for "war" with toyota because I think the dunlop tires are no suitable for LC 4x4 and are poor quality.
Maybe someone has got any answer?
