Description of the problem	My car, toyota highlander hybrid 2008, tire (245/55 19r) ware out to 2/32 ~ 3/32 at 17500 miles. When it went don to 4/32, garage warn me about tire need to change very soon, i contacted my toyota dealer and toyo tire but no action has been taken. Almost all of highlander owner complain online at car forum. We didn't get any action from both car and tire dealer. Only one owner get free replacement by dealer from upstate new york. Toyo 245/55 r19 tire is not good at handling on snow and ice. When there was snow, i have to drive very carefully and slowly. Even though i drive very carefully, i slip and skid two or three times. Most of the owner of 2008 and 2009 highlander which come with 245/55 r19 size tire complaint about poor handling on snow and ice even on wet surface. There are only two choices for that kind of size tire and both do not have good result of handling on wet or ice. I hope this report can give some help to other owners of the car which come with 245/55 r19. Thanks.
