Replying to: berri (Apr 23, 2009 10:45 am) Okay folks - I did it and am delighted! I was disgusted at the limited selection of P245/55 R19 tires, so I did as suggested elsewhere on this site and checked what wheel size I could switch to and (1) not mess up the speedometer/odometer reading and (2) have a much greater selection of tire brands to choose from. (I used the miata site mentioned elsewhere to do this.) I bought new wheels from Tire Rack (good people there!) and had them put on Michelin Latitudes. The new wheels are 17-inchers and the new tires are P245/65 R17. I had to buy new tire pressure sensors, alas - but that's understandable.   Tire Rack spin balances them and then ships them wherever you want - in my case to my trusty local repair shop. He charged me $30 to put them on and then I drove to the Toyota dealer, since they are the only ones who can enter the tires' sending codes into the console's tire pressure screen.   And so now I'm driving with very, very nice tires that were manufactured by Michelin expressly for SUV's. And it shows: they're quiet and they grip the wet road so much better than the Toyo's.   BTW, I have to express my sympathy that you have such weaselly Toyota dealers. Luckily, my Toyota folks were sympathetic (though, admittedly, not especially helpful).   This was an expensive switch, but I realized that since I'm no longer stuck with Yoko's as my only high-quality choice, this will pay for itself after the next tire change.   I hope this helps y'all.

Has anyone installed Michelin Latitude 255/60 19 tires on their Toyota Highlander? How are they working out and do they fit the fender wells okay? Does anyone recommend this tire and if so, do they ride well? Replies to this message: paulnjnorth (Apr 28, 2009 6:29 pm)

Replying to: lhales (Apr 28, 2009 5:34 pm) Michelin told me they don't have that size. That's why I went with the 17" tires (and new wheels). I'm loving them, BTW.

Replying to: nowlen (Apr 14, 2009 12:22 pm) As mentioned elsewhere, I did and I love them. Zero problems. Nada. None.

Replying to: awl1 (Apr 22, 2009 10:30 am) Have any of you thought of going with 235/55/19 tires? There are quite a few makers of that size out there. The 55mm less width will make it better in snow and the height difference hardly affects the speedometer reading.(you can check the tire calculator) This should help the clearance problem of the strut, too. I personally have the factory Bridgestones on my 08 Sport, and had them siped right from the beginning. They have worn 1/32" in 5000 miles and did okay in the snow, too.
#263 of 444 New TOYO P-Metric Tire by dieselclyde Apr 29, 2009 (11:17 am)
Found a new Toyo P metric tire in the correct fitment for our vehicles. Discount Tire can order them and I was quoted a price of $213 each plus tax. These tires have a mileage warranty of 60000 miles. The write up for the tire would indicate it will behave substantially like the OEM tires. I actually like the tread patterns better than the OEM. Oh, the tire is an Open Country H/T P metric 245/55-19. If you want to see for yourself go to Treaddepot.com and find the Toyo tires and look for the P metric group. Load range is 1900 lbs and the 640AB indicates good wear and traction. Hope this helps.
#264 of 444 2007 Highlander tires by crtzlow Apr 30, 2009 (5:31 pm)
I was wanting to get some feedback from other owners as to which tire they replaced the original factory tires with. 225/70/16 Toyos from the factory which won't make too much over 35K miles. I've been looking at the Bridgestones and Kumho brands but have not made up my mind as of yet. What kind of tire did you go with and what kind of mileage did you get out of them? I think the Toyos would have done better but while having it serviced by Toyota somehow they all got 36 lbs of pressure in them and wore the middle pretty good before I caught it.   Thanks in advance for any replies and help.   Don Replies to this message: grahampeters (May 01, 2009 3:31 am) grahampeters (May 01, 2009 3:37 am)
