general problems of the 2007 Toyota Yaris

Tires are of very poor quality. Were bald after little use. Ended up unable to control my vehicle and involved in accident. Through service checks it was never noted to me of the tire condition and the tires should not of been in the condition they were in. I feel as though it is a defect or poor quality product Toyota is selling on their vehicles.

The failure was not on my vehicle, but on some 18 wheeler which lost its retread. I hit the retread debree laying in the road, a piece 2-3 feet long. I nearly wrecked 1st trying to avoid it and then when I hit it. It tore up my exhaust pipe which will need repair. I believe these retreads aught to be made illegal since they must be railing at a high rate, just looking at the debree I notice along the side of a typical interstate. Is the cost savings to truckers worth the risk imposed on other drivers and the cost of repair to their vehicles, most of which is absorbed by the victim of this junk. It is particularly dangerous for drivers of small vehicles, which have low ground clearance. I hit this with a Yaris.
