Replying to: jim_bo (Feb 21, 2009 12:04 am) Are your 255/60 19's working for you on your Toyota Highlander? I am considering purchasing a set for my Highlander.
#258 of 450 255/60 19 tires for 2008 Toyota Highlander by lhales Apr 28, 2009 (5:34 pm)
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.

#262 of 450 Re: 2008 Highlander Limited Toyo Tires [awl1] by pjcrouse Apr 29, 2009 (10:20 am)
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 450 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 450 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)

Replying to: crtzlow (Apr 30, 2009 5:31 pm) G'day   I was unimpressed with the performance of the original Toyo tyres on my 2005 Kluger (Highlander to you) and they wore out at 44914 km (28,000miles). The Toyos had poor grip under most conditions and very poor lateral stability. They were particularly nasty off bitumen   I do some off bitumen work and wanted a good mud/snow tyre with good on highway characteristics. I fitted Yokohama 225/70R16 102H pattern G051 H/T-S 30 months ago.   I now have about 75,000 km (say 48,000 miles) on the Yokohamas in 30 months and they still have probably 20,000 km wear. I checked tread depth last night and they are wearing consistently. Wet weather gripmis still good although I feel that they are just staring to go off a bit.   It is however critical to get the Kluger alignment checked about every six months (four wheel alignment on laser machine) as they do slip out, particualrly if driven over bumpy surfaces and check inflation regularly. They are less susceptible to inconsisntent tyre pressure than many vehicles but it does affect wear and handling.   Cheers   Graham
#266 of 450 Tyre Pressure and Wheel nut torque by grahampeters May 01, 2009 (3:37 am)
Replying to: crtzlow (Apr 30, 2009 5:31 pm) G'day   Separate to the tyre choice question, I also have been caught with the overinflation game. Recently noiced that handling seemed shaper than usual and found pressures above 40PSI. Also, tyre shops tend to overtorque wheel nots. Last tyre rotation, I found nuts over tensioned dreadfully and had to buy a long breaker bar as I could not easily remove them. A reasonable torque wrench can be picked up for less than USD100 and socket is about USD 10 so you can easily adjust the nuts. If you don't you risk damaging studs and brake discs.   Cheers   Graham
