I know I'm not going to put the same Goodyear tires back on the Toyota. I'm just a little surprised at how quickly they wore out. I could understand this level of wear on super sticky low profile tires on my BMW, but not on the kid hauler.
I'm thinking about getting some Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S tires. They seem to be more 'truck-like' and and I think would be useful for when we drive on the beach and pull the little tent trailer up camping.
Anybody want to chime in on the eternal quest for the über-tire?

The Goodyear Integrity tires
were ..
are and always
will be a terrible tire.
Few people are getting anywhere with these cheap Goodyear low
pricepoint tires.
It is ironic that when yu buy a new 06-07 Highlander HV, it is pot luck whether yu get a
Michelin LX4 tire or
Goodyear Integrity tire.
LX4's are around
$160 each while the
Integrity is around
$110 or less.
If this is any indication of Toyotas
indifference to what they choose to put on their vehicles.
Yu are not alone with those Integrity Tires! Some people are getting even less wear out of them.
If yu were religious about rotation and PSI etc. Yu got as much as yu could out of an inferior set of Goodyear tires!
