Toyota highlander (2008) with toyo a20 tires. Extremely high wear with low mileage; car hydroplanes with minimal wet road surface, power wheels lose traction, even with slow start. The toyo tire treads are almost worn off at 23000 miles; when in normal driving, one should expect 45000 miles. This is a very poor quality oem tire, and should be recalled. *tr

Toyo a20 open country tires in 245/55r19 size wear prematurely with potential loss of traction and control. Drivers unaware of the fact these tires wear out in less than 20,000 miles may fail to check them for wear soon enough. These tires are the oem tires used on the 2008 toyota highlander sport model and probably some other toyota models and model years as well. The 2008 vehicle owners will be the first to report…

Have the bridgestone tires stock that come with the 2008 highlander. They didn't even make it 28000 miles. While looking up the tire on the manufacturers site, they don't even have a mileage rating. We complained to the toyota customer care site and never received so much as an acknowledgment. Complained to the toyota dealership and were told that toyota sacrifices the mileage of their tire so that we get a better…

On march 2, 2009 i rented a suv from hertz at the salt lake city airport. Upon picking up the car i commented to the person checking me out that the tire tread depth looked very low for an suv that would be used in the snow. She said she would make note of it. When i arrived at my destination 230 miles away i used a penny to check the depth. I called hertz to ask for assistance to get the tires replaced. Roadside…

The bridgestone dueler h/l400 (not h/l 683 or 684 ii as listed in the choices for this tire on this web site!!!!!) tires on our 2008 toyota highlander are terribly unsafe in all conditions other than dry roads. They hydroplane in the rain, the rear end slides in all types of snowy conditions, causing the stability control to kick in and compensate, and they require frequent topping off of the air pressure, more so…

We have leased a 2008 toyota highlander for 22 months. The toyo a 20 tires are so worn with normal driving they will not pass state inspection.

My wife's 2008 toyota highlander sport with 19" rims came with bridgestone dueler h/l 400 tires. This tire happens to be the only tire made to fit this rim other than a toyota open country which apparently was standard on the hybrid model. We found this tire to be unfit and unsafe for a 4,500 lb vehicle of this scale. These tires hydroplan in rain from the moment they were new, and they handled terribly in any…
