#276 of 444 Careful ... by nowlen May 20, 2009 (11:00 am)
I see a lot of people here talking about mounting 255/60-19 on their 245/55-19 '08 Highlanders. That changes the diameter by 1.4 inches and the circumference by 4.5 inches. You're asking for trouble. The problem is changing the profile to 60 - leave it at 55. Going to 255/55-19 only changes the diameter by .4 inches and the circumference by 1.4 inches - a much more reasonable choice.   Generally, you should only be changing the profile if you're changing the wheel diameter. (Going to an 18" wheel in the case of the 08 Highlander).   DiscountTire.com has a 'Tire Size Calculator' on the left side of their home page that can help you with these calculations and it will even tell you how much your speedometer will change.

Replying to: mapham (Mar 06, 2009 6:45 am) have you had any problems with clearance in the wheel well or the tire rubbing on the suspension or other parts in tight cornering situations??? Replies to this message: mapham (May 28, 2009 5:12 am) nowlen (May 29, 2009 10:06 am)

Replying to: nowlen (May 20, 2009 11:00 am) What do you think about going to a 20" wheel on the '08 Highlander Limited? Replies to this message: nowlen (May 28, 2009 5:49 am)

Replying to: hotrod28 (May 27, 2009 3:17 pm) No trouble at all, I drove over 3k miles on the 255/60 R19 Michelin’s tires without rubbing or any issues. Does very good on the wet road on a rainy day, I have not yet drove it on ice or snow. Replies to this message: nowlen (May 29, 2009 10:06 am)

Replying to: harris20 (May 27, 2009 3:30 pm) Personally, I wanted to stay with factory rims, so I can't really comment from experience on the 20's.   As I mentioned in an earlier post, DiscountTire.com has a 'Tire Size Calculator' where you enter the current tire's specs and the tire you want to go to and tells you the differences in resulting TIRE profile. You also need to be sensitive to the wheel offset to avoid any problems. It takes some research on your part - call the big online tire sellers and/or trusted local shops and ask. Make sure you get a Fit guarantee just in case somebody makes a mistake.   For sure, going to 20's will give you less height of the tire sidewall (because you'll be moving to 50 series tires) making you more susceptible to pothole damage (a big concern in my part of the country) and will probably result in a rougher ride and a change in handling. If you live where the roads are straight and smooth that will matter less to you. Good Luck!

Replying to: mapham (May 28, 2009 5:12 am) Why did you go to 60 series when upping the width to 255 instead of just sticking with 55?
#282 of 444 18" Lexus Rims by axmacd Jun 01, 2009 (12:46 pm)
I bought a set of 18" Lexus LS460 rims, and they DO NOT fit on the 2008 - 2009 Highlander!

Replying to: mapham (Mar 06, 2009 6:45 am) Did you have to reset the tire air pressure sensors to get the sensors to work correctly so the dash light does not come on? How many miles do you now have on these and are you experiencing any problems with them?
#284 of 444 Wheels chipping by eenglish99 Jun 08, 2009 (3:14 pm)
I have a 2002 Millenium Silver Highlander with the aluminum wheels. They have been holding up oretty well but on two of them the center piece inside the lug nuts with the logo on it is starting to peel on only 2 of them. Is this a common problem? Can you just get this little piece and replace them? I may try touch up paint. Thanks
#285 of 444 Re: tires for 2008 highlander [lhales] by jimp01 Jun 09, 2009 (1:14 pm)
Replying to: lhales (Apr 29, 2009 10:19 am) I called that number and was told they do not have any prices and don't sell. How did you get yours and are they still available at that price?
