Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire New tires for Toyota Highlander Need recommendations.

My wife's rig needs new tires before winter. Size is 245/55R19. Original tires were Bridgestone Dueler H/L. They hydroplane easily and have worn down quickly.

Recommendations please. Thanks

General Grabbers! Lasted 100K on my wife's Highlander.

+100 on the General Grabber AT2!!!

I have them on both Suburbans and my Toyota pickup - I will NEVER buy a different tire unless they discontinue them. There is no better tire for winter conditions of snow and ice, and they do well in the mud too and at half the price of many top of the line tires. They are without a doubt the best tire for the money made today.

Simply go to Costco and buy the best Michelin tires they recommend for a Highlander. Done.

There's at least 8 sets of Dueler AT's between my brothers truck and mine, and about 450K miles. Wouldn't have anything else.

Revos'?


Those were good tires.

I've got the General Grabber AT2's on my Grand Cherokee. They do wear well and are good on and off road in snow and mud.

It's rather ludicrous to make a tire recommendation without knowing how she'll use them. Mostly highway? Lots of snow? Heavy loads? You want long life? Traction? Quiet ride?

Michelin Defender LTX MS... Hands down. Wife's 2001 Highlander has 240K miles. She put 140K on it. Three sets of the Michelin tires. Zero issues. Fourth set on right now. Just bought her a 2015 Equinox AWD. First thing we did was put a new set of the Michelin LTX tires on it. Not cheap. But, they ride smooth, channel water well, and have good traction in mud, gravel, snow. Good tread life and give good fuel economy.

I have been running Michelin LTX on my Dakota 4X4 since I replaced the factory Goodyears, for the past 250k I have been very pleased with them.


Great ride and great off road traction, I have friends back east running them on their Suburban 4X4 that they toll heavy loads with and they are like wise very pleased with them.

Yokohama Geolanders. I've had about 5 sets on a 2008 4 runner. Great wet/dry traction and they wear well.

+101! 93,000, on my first set of 265/75/16 AT2's. Went to 285/75/16 on the second set. 40,000 and looking very good. They're on a 2007 Hummer H3. Good traction, not real noisy, long service.

Another vote for Michelin LTX. M/S version is excellent in rain and on highways. If some offroading is planned, the AT version is good, but a noisier on the highway. I have had 4 sets, all of which delivered 70,000 miles and were still legal when changed out. These were on a F150 and Silverado 1500.

Anything Michelin recommends i would put on . I am on 5 sets of LTX tires , 3 tacomas, 1 silverado and current Tundra. Best tires made for a light truck. When the POS [bleep] tires go on my wifes Crosstour it is getting Michelin Defenders.

I agree that the LTX is nearly always a great choice for a vehicle that will not see mud.

LTX are great when I put them on my F150 a few years back I went to

Type in your tire size and check out the reviews there should be some specific to your vehicle. Don't be surprised if the LTX is up there.

Good luck and shoot straight

How much snow do you get? All season tires aren't any better than highway tires and don't last as long. They're softer than highways and wear out faster. If you need snow tires, get a spare set of rims and put on REAL snow tires for winter and REAL highway tires for summer. You'll get better performance year round that way.

I put Michelins on my Honda Pilot and I'm very pleased with their performance.

Yup....
