Tires
I posted about the wotsits that monitor tire pressure. Turned out my tire is beyond repair - two nails, too close to one another for repair.
The HH came with Michelin Energy LX4 225/65R17 tires. The tire dealer said those tires are extremely uncommon and he'd have to order them and they wouldn't be here before Wednesday (8/1).
Now I'm wondering. Do they outfit vehicles in different states with different tires? So because my vehicle got trucked in from Arkansas I have a tire that's not usually used in Texas? Is that going to cause some difficulty in driving/handling?
Or is it simply that the HiHy gets "special" tires not the same as on other Highlanders and since tires takes a while to get to replacement that there is simply not (yet, or perhaps never, based on number of vehicles) a critical mass for this tire?
PS. They're expensive as well. Total price, (fitted and taxed) is just over $175 (and I did call around).
