| I have a 2004 Highlander Limited that I purchased new. I noticed recently that the finish on the rims is starting to bubble up and flake around the inner lip of the holes in the rims. This is occurring on all 4 wheels. I've never used anything to clean them other than good old car wash soap liquid. No other finish on the vehicle seems to be affected. Anyone else out there having problems with the finish peeling off their rims? | |

Replying to: my_mr2 (Jan 10, 2008 11:45 am) Dealer gave ballpark figure of $600 for a set of new tires (installed) comparable to the Bridgestones (presumably rated 50K or 60K). Are there better tires for the same price or less? I have had good luck with Yokahamas on other vehicles and might consider the Geolanders, but I don't want to reduce mpg. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

If you have Toyo tires, which my new Highlander 08 has, check for defective tires. I have one on the front. Has a big gash line that goes across. It is not certain, but I think it came with a defect. I did not notice it until this past week. I have had the Highlander for almost a month. I have not run over anything that sharp that I'm aware of, so the dealer agreed to order a new one at no cost. Others have told me that Toyo Tires are not very good. I wish they had put Mich. tires on the new Highlanders. |

Replying to: cabinjj (Feb 20, 2008 5:53 am) Which Bridgestones specifically lasted only 18K for you? Just wondering if I got lucky with the Duelers that came on the vehicle in 2004, or if it's generally considered to be a good tire....

Replying to: herzogtum71 (Feb 21, 2008 12:17 pm)  5,000 and careful air pressure checks, the Duelers were gone at 18. I was astounded frankly. Never had such a bad tire. You were lucky or you drive in warm climate with straight roads. I will never risk running a Bridgestone tire again and when I buy another vehicle I would trade out original tires no matter what they are.

Replying to: herzogtum71 (Feb 23, 2008 11:27 am) I suspect I will never get the kind of mileage you got out of your tires due to the AWD. Good luck with your next set. I love the Highlander. Never owned a better car. |
