Buy what you are comfortable with. The "Buy 3 and get one for $1" is all BS. That fourth tire's price is incorporated into the first three.

 

I have to say in this case, Toyota is not marking up the tires to give the discount. They want to move tires, and get you back to the dealer multiple reasons. Check over the truck for other work it may need and you may see the new models wanting to trade in.

(I work in Toyota Parts Dept.)

I have 09 Highlander with Yokohama Geolander G056 245/65/17. Great tire for the price.

 

You might also check the date of manufacture. Tires age even when they are sleeping in the warehouse, just like people, and they might be offering a deal just because they need to move some tires that are getting old.

 

Look at 255/55/19 There's WAY better options than 245's

stitches, what type of driving are you planning on doing?

 

:lol: yeah....it helps to put what wheel you have (17 or 19) :lol: That changes a lot.

If you have 19's, from my experience
Michelin Defender LTX M/S > (Bridgestone Dueler H/L 400 (driving on bare rims would be better than these), Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza, Goodyear Assurance Tripletred C/S)

 

I run Cooper Zeon LTZ's in 255. Badass A/T tires. Pricey tho @ $260 a tire.

Since I am a Jeep guy, the best tire I ever had were Michelin LTX M/S - great in snow even when almost bald. Just didn't have size needed last time.
Wife currently has Goodyear Assurance Tripletred C/S - as good in my opinion in all types of weather so far.
When I bought mine I got 20% each (5th free), $80 rebate, and tax free weekend from an tire company in MA. Beat dealership prices for a better tire.

 

Neither. Get Michelins, they last so much longer and are a much better all around tire. But if you want it on the cheep...

 

Costco recommended MICHELIN X LT A/S 245/65R17 107T for my 2012 Highlander SE AWD. The specs are great and they should perform in Chicago weather. Price is $164 per tire, $752 for the package with installation.

I cannot find reviews because they are latest generation (according to Michelin's site).

Is anyone using them on this type of vehicle? What's your experience?

Thanks.

I've been running Continental Cross Contact LX20 WITH ECOPLUS TECHNOLOGY.

Very happy with them and I picked up 2 mpg with them.
