#51 of 448 Re: tire ? on new car purchase [jospher] by nosdivad Jul 30, 2007 (4:50 am)
Replying to: jospher (Jul 29, 2007 7:24 pm) thank you. i may leave them on for a while. or i may have to research to find a tire that will not result in that problem. i may check out sam's or costco clubs to see if they have tire that will not result in that problem. i am also thinking that in the future that i may not rotate tires at all. i know that rotation supposely prolongs life of tires. on the other hand: even though tires may wear prematurely i may break even because i would not be paying for rotation every 4/5000 miles. any thoughs/ suggestions?

Replying to: nosdivad (Jul 27, 2007 9:10 pm) I had a similar situation. I think it was on a Corolla. After rotating, there was an annoying vibration. My mechanic felt the tires and said there was a smooth spot as if I had braked hard enough to leave rubber which was plausible. So I rotated them back and sure enough the sound disappeared though I could still detect it although very faintly. So I just left them that way.   I ended up selling the car before I needed new tires.   I don't see why the sound would be "worse" if you rotated them back. However why not drive them that way for a few thousand miles and see if it goes away and rotate them back if not. Replies to this message: nosdivad (Aug 04, 2007 1:54 pm)

I swapped out the OEM Bridgestone tires on my 2002 Highlander about 3 years ago, at 45K, for the Yokohama GeoLander G051's and have been pretty pleased with them. I now have just about 90k on the truck, and have just started to look at new tires, leaning towards the Fortera TripleTreds.   Rap Replies to this message: nosdivad (Aug 09, 2007 4:52 pm)

Replying to: raprider (Aug 07, 2007 5:48 am) did you rotate them every 5/6,000 miles? did you experience any cupping?
#56 of 448 Tires - Michelin LTX MS are the best by nimrod99 Aug 16, 2007 (9:57 am)
I had OEM bridgestones on my 2003 HL and they lasted for 29,000 miles I changed to Michelin LTX MS and got another 66,000 (changed them at 95,000 for another set of Michelin LTX MS)   The Michelin LTX MS handle great on dry roads, in the rain and on snow. Best tires I have ever had Replies to this message: wgrafer (Dec 08, 2007 2:35 pm)
#57 of 448 Goodyear Integrity Tires or Goodyear Fontera? Triple Treds? by buttonwood Nov 06, 2007 (8:14 pm)
I have a Highlander 2004. I just want to know- my Toyota dealership wants to replace my tires with Goodyear Integrity tires at $152. a tire. I said "no" after reading reviews. I think the Goodyear Triple Treds are considered better and they say they cost $190. a tire. Is it worth it?

Replying to: buttonwood (Nov 06, 2007 8:14 pm) I just bought the Triple Treds after finding out that they are snow rated. The OEM Toyo Transpath tires were lousy in anything but light snow. Sears sells the Triple Treds in Highlander size for about $150 and may have a sale this week. Replies to this message: nosdivad (Nov 09, 2007 8:04 pm)

Help me out here, folks. Time to get some new tires for my '04 HL AWD. I've read the reviews and they seem pretty favorable for this tire, plus not overly expensive. My priorities are dry and wet traction, road noise and comfort. Anybody else please throw in your 2 cents worth about them. I'd appreciate it.

#60 of 448 Re: Rear Brake Issues [homershannon] by kenlw Nov 07, 2007 (7:04 pm)
Replying to: homershannon (Jan 19, 2007 5:42 pm) your ABS system may be malfunctioning. Simple dragging will not cause a lot of heat, you need to have some pressure being applied to make them heat appreciably.   A previous vehicle of ours (not Toyota) had an issue where one wheel would slowly lock up, eventually so tight that the car would not move and the rotor was actually glowing red! Turning off the car reset the controller and released the brake.   the root cause was the ABS controller was snockered.
