I'm finding that almost no one offers road hazard on these tires (the total cost at the one local place that does is $900 plus).
Since I am hesitant to buy tires without road hazard protection, I am considering Dunlop Radial Rover A/T, which has been recommended.
Does anyone have experience with these Dunlop Radial Rover A/T tires on a Highlander?
Consumer Reports gave them a pretty good rating (actually much better than the Michelin in dry braking) in a test from 2004. The lowest ratings on the Dunlops were in snow, which is not an issue where I live.
Thank you in advance for any help!

If snow is not an issue where yu live , I would look into a better dry handling
Touring tire...something that excells in the rain... and is not noisey with a very agressive tread.
$900 for the Mich. is way too high. And I prefer Mich. tires 99% of the time...but I would never pay that much
for this size tire.
There are tires shops and dealers that will offer road hazard for an extra fee. All in all, I never felt that roa
d hazard is anything great.
