Quote:Dangerous, or just a tire eater?

I've got an older (2004) Sienna I'm driving the wheels off.

I'd rather not spend the money, and keep it in savings for my replacement vehicle (hopefully no time soon.)

Is it a real danger to put off, or just might cost me more in worn tires?

The issue with this particular vehicle is that you nearly have to pull the motor (either partially raise the engine to get to the bolt, or have a really shallow wrench,) which makes the labor higher (or nearly impossible if you don't have the time/tools/garage to DIY.)

What say you, grease monkeys?

I am far from a grease monkey, but I do have some experience with worn tires. I pushed my Titan's original tires well beyond what would be recommended. I ran on some of the silver metal threads for quite a bit before we finally changed them. They were near bald for quite a bit of time even before that.

Take that for what it's worth. Recommended? No.
