Replying to: brioboy (Nov 16, 2007 6:14 pm) Further checking from other dealers seems to indicate that there are no snow tires from any manufacturer in 19" 55 series. |

Nokian makes a WR that is very close: 255/50R19XL The overall diameter is only .6" less. A comparison can be made at: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html The WR is an all season tire with the snowflake, which denotes severe winter duty. I've had a set on my 06 HH for 30k mi and they still have lots of miles left and have performed great in snow. The Nokian site for the WR is: http://www.nokiantires.com/en/tire_wr_suv.aspx BTW; Nokians are made in Finland; they know about winter driving - they are a little hard to find, and they are not cheap. |

| You know how they all pitch the fuel savings and whatnot of this vehicle? Nobody tells you that you'll be going through twice as many tires as normal because of the electroc motors. I guess their low-end torque pulls more rubber off the tires? I checked the tires on my Hybrid 2007 model they have a treadwear rating of 440, and yet I'm at 25k miles now and they are down to the wearmarks. Any possible money I would save on fuel goes into replacing tires, and we all know tires are one of the most difficult thing environmentally to get rid of... they sit in piles until they light on fire (by accident, of course) and cause lots of environmental damage. | |

Replying to: jking3 (May 28, 2008 1:16 pm) Our '06 HH came with Goodyear Integrity, a van tire that is not so great tire for SUV. We did not like the ride, handling and road-feel and lost one to side wall cut. After realizing it had one-ply side wall, we switched to SUV tires and they have done really well. We drive on farm and ranch roads a lot so tires take a bit of abuse, so far so good.

Replying to: cdptrap (May 29, 2008 8:43 am) Looking at Yokohama AVID H4s to replace: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Yokohama&tireModel=AVID+H4S&veh- icleSearch=true&partnum=265HR7H4S&fromCompare1=yes&place=1&speed_rating=S&speed_- rating=T&speed_rating=U&speed_rating=H&speed_rating=V&speed_rating=Z&speed_ratin- g=W&speed_rating=Y&speed_rating=(Y)&load_rating=S&load_rating=RF&load_rating=XL&- load_rating=C&load_rating=D&load_rating=E&load_rating=F&load_rating=G&minSpeedRa- ting=S Anybody know if you can "plus one" the 225/65R17? Are the stock rims wide enough to handle it? We have a 2007 Highlander Hybrid 4wd; I have no idea what kind of TPMS it has though (direct or ABS).

Replying to: jking3 (May 29, 2008 9:26 am) Not sure about the TPMS as the '06 model lacks TPMS  . Good luck! |
