#301 of 448 New TOYO P-Metric Tire by dieselclyde Aug 02, 2009 (12:13 pm)
Recently replaced the OEM tires after 34,700 miles with the TOYO P Metric 245/55 19R tires. Have just completed a 2000 mile trip in a variety of driving conditions and am well pleased with these tires. Much quieter than the OEM ones and provide a comfortable ride at 34 #s inflation. The 60,000 mile warranty is some comfort also. Purchased through a local dealer who beat Discount Tire by $140.00. Got the road hazzard deal also. If you need tires give these a serious look before changing sizes. Replies to this message: hlander (Aug 02, 2009 4:59 pm) dieselclyde (Aug 03, 2009 12:22 pm) hlander (Aug 05, 2009 7:45 am)

Replying to: dieselclyde (Aug 02, 2009 12:13 pm) Wow, you got a lot of miles on OEM tires. I changed last week at 18500 miles and tread depth down to 3/32. I changed to Bridge Stone Dueler and it didn't come with mileage warranty. I hope 1 or 2 yrs later, there may more choices.

Replying to: hlander (Aug 02, 2009 4:59 pm) I rotated every 5K miles and watched the inflation every week. Also I don't drive my HL like a sports car nor peel off at stoplights. I learned some of my tire knowledge while in the Army. Also checked the tread depth carefully. I still have not changed my opinion about the OEM tires. The HL is not a performance vehicle and should be tired appropriately with all season type tires. Frankly I can't tell any difference in the handling and the braking is better IMO with the new tires. I switched out when the tires reached 3/32s depth. Feel much safer now. Replies to this message: hlander (Aug 05, 2009 7:45 am)
#304 of 448 19" Toyota replacments by chuck_s99 Aug 03, 2009 (4:12 pm)
FWIW -- I already changed out my wheels and tires(see post 288 above), but I heard from a mutual friend that my dental hygenist who has a 08 Limited LH, got Toyota to replace her 19" tires with new 19" tires. I don't know any details, but that's what I heard and I believe the source. Replies to this message: mdhutton (Aug 03, 2009 7:39 pm) chuck_s99 (Aug 04, 2009 5:34 pm)

Replying to: chuck_s99 (Aug 03, 2009 4:12 pm) I'd come down with a sudden toothache and see if your hygenist can give any more details ! Replies to this message: chuck_s99 (Aug 04, 2009 5:34 pm)

Replying to: mdhutton (Aug 03, 2009 7:39 pm) lol. Since I've already bit the bullit, I'll just wait til I go in this fall. I will post details though, when I get 'em.

Replying to: dieselclyde (Aug 03, 2009 12:22 pm) Yes, I rotated mine every 5000 miles too. And I drive normal too. I never do rush drive and hard braking too. My town has a lot of up and down hill roads and I check my tire pressure only once a month.   Finally, Toyota taking care of somebody if that news is true.
#308 of 448 Highlander Tire Update by houston_man Aug 18, 2009 (10:00 am)
Just clocked 10,000 miles on Hankook P235/55R 19". Replaced the OEM Toyo tires that came with it. Overall, I have been very happy with these tires, despite the smaller width. Performance in heavy rain has been solid, wear on all 4 tires has been even across the tire, having rotated them twice. Weight has not been a problem when the vehicle is loaded down. Hankook warranty has been comparable to other major brands, and they are the 7th largest tire manufacturer in the world.   So far....so good.....
#309 of 448 Re: Bridgestone Dueler Alenza 255/55/R19 [awl1] by pseudolefty Aug 19, 2009 (12:11 pm)
Replying to: awl1 (Jul 07, 2009 8:36 pm) Hi awl1: I'm researching replacing the 245/55/R19's on my '08 Highlander Sport with 255/55/R19's and saw that you did this with your wife's '08 Highlander Limited. The two tires I'm considering are the Alenza's and the Michelin Latitude Tour HP's. I see that you switched over to the Michelin's after initially tyring the Alenza's. Is your wife still happy with the Micheln's? Are you still happy with the decision? My alternative is to switch to 18" wheels and go with 245/60/R18's. Thanks.
#310 of 448 Replaced Wheels and Tires on '08 Highlander Sport by pseudolefty Aug 23, 2009 (10:09 am)
I decided to go the route of other '08 Highlander owners yesterday (cap208, tywebb3, etc) and bought new 18" wheels and 245/60 R18 tires. Went with the Liquid Venom 18" wheels (18x7.55-100/11440SMF) $135 ea. and Continental CrossContact LX tires $123 ea w. 65,000 mi. warranty. Out-the-door cost was $1260. Will get this installed later this week. Hope this resolves the issue. Also posted to Toyota consumer site and Consumer Reports.   I briefly considered going to 255/55/R19 per a previous poster (awl1), but I saw more people with success going to the R18's. Also asked the Discount tire tech and he mentioned that going to 255/55 R19's would probably wear fast too (just like the OEM 245/55/ R19's) due to the wheel size and dynamics of the vehicle. He thought that I'd get more lifetime on my tires going to the 18" rims. We'll see...
