Are you referring to what came on from the factory or aftermarket? If aftermarket then you can go to tirerack.com and take a look-see. Welcome to TN.com!

Getting 245/55-19 will be tough. But I saw tires that were 255/55-19 , a Michelin 4x4 Synchrone and Goodyear Wrangler HP. Although a tiny bit bigger, they should work fine. Check them out at discounttire.com and use the tire calculator to compare the 245 with the 255 size.

I found some Blizzak's for ours. The Toyo's that it came with are TERRIBLE in our winter conditions. I waited to see how they were- it was like being on skis. The Blizzaks were provided by friends in the tire business- and they had a hard time coming up with them. They work great- in april I'll put the Toyo's back on.

Toyo has the Open Country H/T in a 245/55 R19 out with a 60,000 warranty. Good tire. I just installed them on my 2008.

Success! I switched from the Hybrid's silly P245/55 R19 over to P245/65 R17. Bought new wheels at the Tire Rack (good people), put Michelin Latitudes on them and had my trusty local guy put them on the car. Then I drove over to Toyota dealership and had them re-set the tire monitor screen. And voila! I do love the Michelins. The next time I buy tires, this will nearly pay for itself, In the meantime, I have top-quality tires.
Hope this helps some of y'all.

I was just down at the dealer and saw a 2009 HL Sport that came stock with the Bridgestone 19" 245/55tires instead of Toyo. Didn't get a chance to drive it, but thought it an oddity that it seemed to be the stock tire now. Just wanted to pass it along

The Bridgestone Dueler D400 245/55 19 is the only tyre fitted by Toyota to Australian models with 19" wheels.
Dunlop Grandtrek ST30 245/65 17 are fitted to Klugers with 17" wheels.

+1 for the Toyos in Cda. Got my HL about 3 wks ago and it too was direct from Japan. I believe the Cdn HLs come with the Toyos.

My HL came with the Toyo's. That was back in 2008. I just want a Micheline tire. As for now the Toyo HTs will work.

When I was searching local dealers for my Highlander, I discovered many with the Bridgestone's and many with the Toyo's. I think they are installed randomly at the factory.
