After having my 5000 mile service at Gettel Toyota in Bradenton Florida I drove
away only to find that the "tight new car feeling" was gone. Only having an oil
change and tire rotation I felt that they must have not balanced or aligned the
tires after the rotation......so, I took it back one week later. They
rebalanced and aligned the car. I drove away only to realize that it was
actually worse. I finally called Gettel to tell them I would not be taking the
car back there for future service....the service manager was very understanding
and made arrangements to pickup my car and see just what was the problem. Again
the tires were balanced and aligned. The tech said that it was still not
corrected....finally they decided that the tires had worn badly and were
"cupped". The tires were replaced at 5800 miles and now my Prius is "tight"
and doesn't have that wobbel. THERE IS A DEFINITE PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES THAT
ARE STANDARD ON THE VEHICLE. BEWARE!

IPS After reading all the Prius tire comments...what is the correct tire
pressure? Obviously 35 and 32 causes cupping.
