Yes, Better Tires are Available for the Toyota Highlander Limited Models

Friday, January 8, 2010 by Chad Hocker
Do you have a Toyota Highlander Limited, Sport or Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited?  If you have looked to replace the original tires (245/55R19) you know the options are very limited.  The good news is we have another size tire available to you.  An alternative size that may be used is the 255/55R19 which is just 10 MM wider and only 4ths of an inch taller.  This size tire will fit the stock Toyota wheels without any problem.  Using the 255/55R19 will open up a few more tire options.  See what some other Toyota Highlander owners thought about the 255/55R19 on their Vehicle below.

A few top tires in the alternative size 255/55R19 include:
  • Bridgestone Dueler HL Alenza
    • Highway All-Season
    • "Finally an upper Midwest 19" tire for the 2008 Toyota Highlander Sport! My Highlander spends a few days a week in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the snow is deep. The original tires wore out in scary 13,000 miles (Toyo A20's) without a suitable replacement. Go one size wider, with a big warranty and the vehicle is transformed with the help of Bridgestone, to winter ready. However, there are two downsides, the tires flat spot over night and cause a shake for the first few miles of driving- it goes away. The other negative, the fuel economy decreased a bit with the slightly bigger tire. Nice tires overall,quiet,and built to last. Thanks, Bridgestone and the Tire rack."  Customer review from Weston, WI
  • Michelin Latitude Tour HP
    • Street/Sport Truck All-Season
    • "Replaced 245/55 R19 OEM tires @ 30,000 miles with 255/55 R19 tires. Noticed much quieter ride and increased gas mileage of approx. 1 to 1.5 mpg which was suprising for a increase in tire size." Customer review from Rockford, IL
  • Dunlop SP Sport Signature
    • High Performance All-Season
    • New size, no Toyota Highlander reviews yet.

I see Bridgestone has a Dueler H/L 422 Ecopia in 245/55R-19 that sounds really good and has great grading marks. Anyone have any feedback on it?
