Default Re: What is the lowest RR tire available for the HiHy?

MMooney - Thanks for the attempt but it looks like the Comsumer reports version would not be of any help to us trying to decide on a tire that will work for out Highlanders as they don't "appear" to make ANY of those tires (with the exception of the $180 Michelin Cross Terrains) you listed in our sizes. I did not buy the Fortera HL is (but I also suspect that the triple tread version I do have is also probably similarily ranked). If you do have a subscription and wouldn't mind re-checking the report to see if any of the tires that do fit this vehicle were included in their research, it may help other Highlander owners (listed in my preference):

1) Yokohama YK520 (or to a lesser interst the AVID H4S or Geolander A/T-S)
2) Goodyear Fortera TripleTred
3) Continental 4x4 contact
4) Bridgestone EL400-02 (I had these on another car and they are HORENDOUS)
5) Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza
6) Firestone Destination LE

... and how these might match up to the stock GY Integrity's and/or Michelin LX4's
