Replying to: boulderhlander (Apr 02, 2009 2:06 pm) Excellent! You've inspired me. My "team leader" at the local Toyota dealer still hasn't returned my call from last week, so I'm having my favorite car repair guy in town check out your solution. He's more than happy to do this. Sounds like a great approach to solving the problem - thank you!

Blaming Toyota for the tire manufactures not having tires in this size is like blaming Microsoft for HP not having Printers,scanners, other hardware etc. that worked with the new Vista when it came out.   Unfortunately like everything when you have a new size / product it takes time to get everyone on board. Like everyone I hope it's soon too, but I can't blame Toyota for the tire manufactures not providing thir product in the size I need.   When I need tires if it's still this bad I'll get the 18" rims and be done with it, but I'll be willing to bet by the fall there will be more the 2 tire manufactures making this size.

Replying to: bob259 (Apr 02, 2009 4:57 pm) I think it's legitimate to blame Toyota for putting inferior tires on new vehicles. If they were putting a high-quality 19" tire on the vehicles in the factory, you wouldn't hear people complaining.   Anyone else in the Boston area hear the radio ad from the tire company that wants to give away Toyos? Buy 3 and get the 4th absolutely free. It's a great tire, too, and comes with the best manufacturer warranty in the business....

Replying to: bob259 (Apr 02, 2009 4:57 pm) I'm not sure I'd use the word "blame", either - but I did just take action today: I bought 4 new 17" wheels... wrapped in some Michelins (Latitude Tour). It set me back $1,600, but I refuse to be held hostage. Blame Toyota? Nah - it's more "shame on me" for not protecting myself from this bad decision on the part of Toyota. Whatever the case, I feel better taking control of an important part of the car. PLUS, the next time I get tires, the new wheels will nearly pay for them, since I can get high-quality tires at a lower price, now that I'm into standard-size tires.

Before you change out for a new tire size and/or new rims with new tires, you better check your car warrantee in general to see if you are letting toyota get away with even more irresponsible actions. When you change either the rim or tire size, you are messing with both the speedometer and milage calculations. That could in fact void some aspect of the warrantee. As for those of you that obviously "feel" it is actually our fault that we let Toyota, not even an American car company, screw the American public AGAIN, well...there's no hope there. You could always apologize to Toyota on our behalf for making such a fuss and ask them to continue to treat us like crap, sort of like the Pres. did this week to all of Europe, on "behalf of the American people," of course, when he put all Americans down...again!. Opps, just slipped out folks....couldn't help myself. I apologize. Replies to this message: paulnjnorth (Apr 04, 2009 6:57 pm)

Replying to: kziggy (Apr 04, 2009 2:05 pm) Apology accepted - especially since I haven't been this happy with our leadership in 8 years.

Replying to: HoundDoggie (Feb 28, 2009 7:51 am) I just purchased the same rims and tires as you but they don't seem to fit properly. Did you have to use different bolt or make modifications? I really need some help..The Lexus rims seem just a hair off on the bolt holes.
#227 of 448 Re: 2008 Toyota Highlander Sport TOYO 19" tires [TekinFamily] by nowlen Apr 05, 2009 (7:43 pm)
Replying to: TekinFamily (Jan 22, 2009 7:18 am) One thing I'm unclear about - there seem to be various opinions. Will the factory 17" Highlander wheels fit on a Sport that had 19" wheels from the factory?

Replying to: nowlen (Apr 05, 2009 7:43 pm) Yes they will. They are both OEM. Both have the same bolt pattern. However, you'd better check with Toyota to see if it's OK to go from 19">>17"
