    the 2017 4x4 needs new tires at 36000 miles the stock Michelins just don't balance. I have always stuck with the Michelins on all past trucks because I'm looking for a quiet highway tire with good (60-80000 miles) mileage. It never goes off road but sees lots of 70-85 highway use.
    as I recall last time I bought tires for the 2010 I used 265 70 18 LTX M&S. there was some discussion on the old forum that other brands did as well but got better gas mileage which of course wouldn't take much. Suggestions?

    Michelin Defender LTX, best highway tire hands down

    Agree about the defenders. Best tire I have had. Talked a few friends into them. Girlfriend has them on her highlander and they look new still with 35k miles on them.

    None! I tow a boat weekly
    Kumho Crugen HT 51. Slightly better rated then the Michelin’s and aLOT less money. They also carry the Snowflake for extreme weather. I am on my second set. Great tire.
