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…
