Description of the problem	The 245-55x19 toyo open country a20 tires toyota specs on highlander limited models are utterly treacherous on ice or snow. Edmunds. Com documents a huge number of winter traction complaints under used cars> toyota> 2008> highlander limited> customer comments. In my own case, starting under 15 mmph i slid under 8 lanes of interstate viaduct, anti-lock brakes pulsing all the while, before my car stopped. The toyos are 1 of only 2 tires from any mfr in the size noted, the other being a bridgestone with equally horrific ice/snow traction ratings at tirerack and discount tire. Toyota refuses any assistance, saying the tires are tire manufacturer warranted. The problem? I would be getting exactly the same tire again, and the a20 tire is the problem to begin with. I replaced the toyo's with another make and size at 15,900 miles (for $900) and they transformed my highlander completely winter traction-wise. This toyo tire needs to be banned entirely, yet toyota continues to spec them on new vehicles.
