#427 of 450 Seems like they're available now by 400e Nov 11, 2009 (4:55 pm)
Replying to: hlander (Nov 11, 2009 1:11 pm) For what it's worth, I ordered a set of H/Ts earlier this week and they are on the way.   Has anyone else ordered them lately to confirm that the national backorder situation has ended? Replies to this message: as48 (Nov 11, 2009 8:44 pm)

Replying to: 400e (Nov 11, 2009 4:55 pm) yes I rceived the H/T tires last Friday and they seems to be fine.
#429 of 450 Re: Tire Pressure sensors/indicator [doubles3] by as48 Nov 11, 2009 (8:55 pm)
Replying to: doubles3 (Nov 06, 2009 2:29 pm) In my Camry, the tire sensor lighted up, but when I checked the tire presure, all 4 tires were at the required presure. The guy at the Toyota service told me that upon the cold weather, the air presure reduced during the night and causes the sensor to show low presure. He suggested to raise the presure by a couple of lbs from 32 to 34, and this will prevent the problem. Replies to this message: tventre (Nov 12, 2009 7:45 am)
#430 of 450 New Toyo HT's by ronn Nov 12, 2009 (5:55 am)
Hello everyone, I posted a few weeks ago about installing my new Toyo HT's. I have taken two trips since having the new HT tires, and I want to tell you that they are much, much, more quiet than the A20's , and the ride is very smooth. I am very pleased with the difference in the ride, as I was concerned it might make the ride rougher. Since I have read many post with people complaining about the ride and noise with the Bridgestones, I am glad I made the decision to go with Toyo HT's. The HT has a great warranty, so I would recommend that you stay with the Toyo tires until more choices are out there. To those who ask if I would buy another Highlander due to the tire situation, the answer is YES. I have had many Toyotas, and the Highlander is the best I have had, and I love driving it. To make sure of warranty issues, that was also a reason for not switching tire sizes.

Replying to: ebroaded (Nov 01, 2009 4:55 pm) YES, as I posted about my new HT's, yes, I would buy another Highlander. I have had many Toyota's, and I love the Highlander. Mine is an 08 Limited. since having the HT tires installed, the ride is actually more quiet and smooth. I recently took two trips with the new tires, and it was awesome ! Now, I am ready for whatever winter brings, and feel very comfortable with these tires. They also have a great warranty. Hope this helps..... Replies to this message: ebroaded (Nov 13, 2009 7:07 am)

Replying to: as48 (Nov 11, 2009 8:55 pm) I'm not sure of the Camry but I had a Sequoia and I have a Highlander - check the spare. My tire sensor came on and in each case it was the spare. All 4 tires were on or close to the recommended pressure but the spare was low. Once I filled the spare, the light went off.

Replying to: ronn (Nov 12, 2009 5:59 am) Thanks for letting me know that you would still buy the Highlander in spite of the tire and rim size issues. I hope that the new HT tires are better in the snow and last longer as well. It is reassuring to know that there is a solution to the tire issue and that you love the vehicle.
#434 of 450 H/T's by bayouguy Nov 14, 2009 (5:41 am)
Just like everyone else, I was amazed this past summer, when I noticed that tires on my 2008 4WD Limited (Treadwear rating of 300) were wearing out at 28,000 miles. Especially after rotaing them every 5,000 miles. Who would have thought you would get a set of cheap tires on a $40,000. vehical. My local dealership quoted me a price of $1,500 plus tax ($120.) $1620 to replace with a new set of Toyo's. It's always a pleasure doing business with my local dealer. You can always count on them to treat you fair and give you the best possible price available (not!). So any way, I started checking around for a set of Toyo P245/55R19 Open Country H/T 103S (Treadwear rating of 640, 60,000 mile tire). They seemed to be on backorder everywhere, but I finally went with "Treadepot.com" because I had done business with them in the past. After about 4 weeks, they finally came in. Paid $151.00 each, a set of 4 was $747 delivered to the door, including the 36 month Road Hazard and shipping. I then went to my local allignment shop and had the tires mounted, balanced and a front and rear alignment for $143. That's a total cost of $890. A savings of $730 over my local dealer. I've only had them a few days, but they seem to ride great, milage is the same at approx. 23 mpg and they look good.   PS. Don't get me wrong, I love my Highlander, wouldn't trade it for anything. Just wanted to talk about the tire issue.
#435 of 450 Snows by bob259 Nov 14, 2009 (11:11 am)
While I still have the A20's on my vehicle I finally just received my 4 Blizzak snow tires from the Tire Rack (been on BO since the end of June). In July I also picked up a set of new Highlander Sport 19" take off wheels to mount the snows on cheaper then the aftermarket ones available at the Tire Rack. Would have loved to have the Hybrid wheels for the snows as well, but these were all I could find. So come next week I'll have 4 19" snows, the correct size, mounted on Toyota wheels for winter.   I hope that by the time my A20's bite the dust (11K on them now) that either the HT's will be plentyful or there are other choices available.

Replying to: bob259 (Nov 14, 2009 11:11 am) bob256:   I'm going to follow the same course as you (got my Blizzaks on order from TireRack...who says they have them in stock) and will wait until sprint to swap out the original, junky A20's for H/Ts. I'd like to save some hassle and get another set of wheels to mount the Blizzaks on and I'm wondering where you found the Highlander sport wheels you're using? I'd like to avoid paying $265/OEM wheel if I can.   Anybody else have advice on a good set of 19" wheels that'll work on an '08 HH Limited?
