Hey forum,
I've looked around but couldn't find a solid answer.. Right now I have 245/55/R19's on my HL and I have a few questions..
1. Whats the widest tire I can fit on this highlander?
2. Whats the best tire that you have had (new england weather..all season)? for the stock size or any other size that fits the highlander.
3. Thats all for now...
Thanks in advance!

Many here are using 255/55/19's. With the improved selection of 245's/55/19's, there really isn't a reason unless you want a specific brand/tire that isn't available in the 245's. Anything more than 255 is for you to test.
All season tires are a waste. Get a set of dedicated snow tires for that nov-mar winter run. If you don't mind squirmy snow tires, you can even run them year round.

Alright, thanks for your input! I understand that all-season aren't the best, compared to snow tires, for the snow. But for the simpleness of it, I'd prefer just to have one set of tires with all-seasons on them.

That's a great point to bring up, but yes I have taken all that into consideration
I am thinking about going with the Yokohama ADVAN S4's as they are a very highly rated tire and my fellow friends have had great experience with them..

I decided to go with the Goodyear Assurance CS in my size (245/55r19)
I heard they are the best for our Highlanders.. I'll post back my thoughts as soon as I can.
see i heard that good years are hard to balance and people having balancing issues, hope they work out for you, i am still in a limbo on which ones to get

Yeah I heard that too on some reviews on tirerack.com, but from what I've been hearing locally people haven't had problems.. Worst case, I have a 30 day warranty from Sullivan Tire, so if there is any issue I can bring them back and get a 100% credit..
Hope you find your tire, let us know what you go with and how it goes.
Since just about anything is better than the factory OE A20's that I got, those GY's should do well. But, I've never been impressed by ANY eco-greenie-MPG tire. They tend to give up too much in traction for that hint of MPG.
Balancing any tire should not be an issue. RoadForce should have no problem, even if it means remounting the tire 90, 120, 180 degree from what the 1st attempt is. Also, if the tire is an egg, just have it replaced. Lack of competency at the tire shop is what causes most issues.
