Replying to: herzogtum71 (Feb 09, 2009 5:53 pm) Anyone have experience with this tire? I hope there is a least 1 tire for this vehicle that will work in the elements. |

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? |

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. |

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?

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?

Replying to: terry79 (Feb 12, 2009 10:37 am) 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...... |

The Toyo HT's for the new Highlander are coming in stock at Les Schwab. I am getting a set for $1100 (Taxes, Mounting, Ballancing, Road hasard, included) next Tuesday. The tires should be good for 60,000 miles. I got 33,000 on my A20.
