Replying to: jdavy (Feb 06, 2009 3:30 pm) Right. Same tire, different size. Your choices, unless you change rims, appear to be Bridgestone Duelers or Toyo. It sounds like no one has had good luck with Toyos. Duelers have been around for a while and aren't outrageously expensive. If you have to choose one or the other, go with the Duelers and expect acceptable but not spectacular performance and wear. Replies to this message: btac (Feb 09, 2009 6:18 pm)

The Bridgestone Blizzak also comes in the evil 19" if you can find it.   Anyone have experience with this tire? I hope there is a least 1 tire for this vehicle that will work in the elements.
#167 of 448 Toyo Open Country H/Ts by w41 package Feb 10, 2009 (2:21 pm)
The Toyo Open Country A20s on my 2008 Highlander Sport (19" rims) have 25,000 miles and are at 4/32 treadwear. I was looking for replacements and after much searching I learned the following tires are available:   Bridgestone Duler Toyo Open Country A20 (OEM) Toyo Open Country H/Ts (On National Backorder but you can find one here and one there).   After much research I ordered the Toyo Open Country H/Ts for about $210 each (including shipping). Does anybody have these on their Highlander? How do they ride?
#168 of 448 Toyo Proxes ST alternative by wxjimx Feb 10, 2009 (5:05 pm)
Hello all. I am new to the forum. I too have a 2008 Highlander, 19inch rims, TOYO Open country OEM tires with 25k miles and they are almost gone. I am going out of town on a trip in two weeks and was shocked to find out there are no tires available. National backlog, whatever the hell that is.   After much disussion with the TOYO tire dealer, he recommended Toyo Proxes ST 2 tires, 255 50 R19. They are a little bit bigger than the OEM Open Country, but the dealer says they will work. Has anyone opted for this tire? It appears there is no mileage warrantry on this specific tire, but because I am time constrained, I need to get something on the car. I cannot believe Toyota is sacrificing its reputation for quality cars by having these issues with the tires. Its about time all the buyers of 2008 highlanders are going to be coming in with tire issues.   I am also going for the Toyo warranty claim on the OEM tires I am replacing.
#169 of 448 Conti Cross Contact UHP by tlctxtx Feb 11, 2009 (8:57 am)
Continental makes a well reviewed tire, Cross Contact UHP, in 265/50R19 almost the same diameter (-0.1") and 3/4" wider. It is recommended for 7.5"-9.5" rim width (low, but within limits) Why, other than price, would this not be an acceptable alternative? Replies to this message: wxjimx (Feb 11, 2009 3:01 pm)

#171 of 448 There are 4 Toyo H/Ts 245/55R19 for sale on ebay by w41 package Feb 11, 2009 (9:27 pm)
I've been trying to order these tires from other places and they are sold out. It looks like they are like $350 a piece delivered. Are these tires worth it? Replies to this message: terry79 (Feb 12, 2009 10:37 am) houston_man (Feb 13, 2009 7:56 am) w41 package (Feb 16, 2009 9:41 pm)

Replying to: w41 package (Feb 11, 2009 9:27 pm) Before I spend $350 for a tire I would take that money and buy smaller rims. There are some good post here about choosing the correct rim. It seems the car manufacturers are in a pissing contest to see who can get to 22" rims the quickest. Replies to this message: houston_man (Feb 13, 2009 7:56 am) w41 package (Feb 16, 2009 9:41 pm)

Replying to: terry79 (Feb 12, 2009 10:37 am) Re:W41 Package,   I bought 4 Hankook 235/55R19 H725 Optimo Mileage Plus II tires off E-bay brand new delivered to my house for $600. Got 'em at East Coast Tires in Asheboro, NC. I now have 1,500 miles on them, no problems so far. However, I live in TX, so there isn't the snow/ice issue to deal with......

Replying to: terry79 (Feb 12, 2009 10:37 am) I found a set of 4 H/Ts 245/55R19 for $215 each delivered, so I bought them and had them mounted. They ride fine and do not seem noiser than the A20s. The guy at the tires shop said they will last 30,000 miles on an AWD car. I now have some used A20s with 5/32nd of tread for sale in Loudoun county VA.
