2008 Highlander 17" Toyo tire replacement

[jcwy999]

Hi All, just want to share my experience with the tires replacement on my 2008 Highlander Base model. The original OEM Toyo A20 tires (245/65R17) only lasted about 25k miles on my HL before I had to replace them. The tire tread depth was down to 4/32 and the tire rubber is tearing/ripping apart all over. With all the recent snow/rain/ice storms, I was slipping & skidding on the road.

Anyway, I recently replace all four of the Toyo with the Goodyear Fortera HL tires (60k warranty, A, B). They were very good brand name tires at a very affordable price. I got them thru Sam's Club at $92.22 a pop. These tires seem to be as good or better than the oem Toyo's. Hopefully durability will last twice as long.

**P.S.>> there is currently a rebate of $40 from Goodyear as well.**

Wow nice price! All the prices I'm looking at online are atleast $500 for a total of 4.

How is the ride quality and quietness compared to the old tires?

Yes, I have been researching for a while before I found these Fortera tires. All the comparable ones are at least $150 each & some are lesser brands.

The tires definitely seems to handle a bit better & a bit quieter than the old Toyo A20s and no more skidding/slipping.
