Help me pick a tire

The stock Bridgestone's on my 2009 HL-Limited are down to about 5/32 mm and I don't want to enter the bad weather season here in the midwest with my current setup. I've looked around at replacements and have it down to two options...

Current setup made it 27,500 miles with regular 4-tire rotations. Would be curious what folks have to say.

Thanks.

19 wheels are a pain to find tires, not much options. OEM tire never late long but 27k is pretty good at 5/32. I would go for the Toyo unless the slightly larger Bridgestone is cheaper.

Here's a forum on the Toyo Open Country H/T of the OEM size.

Both seem to be reasonable long lasting tires and should easily last twice as long as the stock tires.
Another option:

I'd run either of these year round instead:

I am getting the Toyo Versado CUV for my summer set of wheels as part of deal with Toyo to credit for premature wear of my A20s. I looked at the H/T but read that they are slightly noisier, and prefer to have a quiet tire. I don't need a more aggressive tread...I have a separate set of wheels/tires for winter and I generally do not go off road. The CUVs are getting good reviews on other forums. Something to consider.

Cheers.

Tire Choice

Between the two I would go with the Bridgestone. I have a 2010 Highlander 4WD Limited that I purchased at the end of August. I noticed some type of vibration after I drove it for a few days. The dealer said the tires were bad and replaced them. It came with the Toyo's and the dealer put the Bridgestone H/L 400 on it and they are way better than the Toyo's.
