The Toyota Highlander is the family-hauling workhorse of the Toyota lineup. Its buyers expect a quiet, smooth ride with confident wet weather capability and long tread life. The right replacement tire delivers on all three.
Common Toyota Highlander tire sizes
4th gen Highlander (2020-current): 235/65R18 (LE, XLE), 245/55R19 (XLE, Limited, Platinum), 245/55R19 (Hybrid).
3rd gen Highlander (2014-2019): 245/55R19 (Limited, Platinum), 235/65R18 (LE, XLE), 225/65R17 (LE base).
Most Highlander owners replace in the OEM size. The 18-inch and 19-inch sizes are the most common replacement.
Best all-season tires
Michelin CrossClimate2: the top recommendation for Highlander owners. Available in 235/65R18 and 245/55R19 — excellent wet performance, 3PMSF winter rating, and quiet ride that matches the Highlander's cabin refinement.
Continental CrossContact LX25: excellent wet grip and fuel economy — a natural fit for the Highlander Hybrid where rolling resistance matters.
Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack: the quietest three-row SUV tire option — excellent for Highlander owners who frequently carry passengers on long trips.
Highlander Hybrid considerations
The Highlander Hybrid is sensitive to rolling resistance — low-rolling-resistance tires preserve the fuel economy advantage.
Continental CrossContact LX25: consistently strong for fuel efficiency while maintaining safety-critical wet grip.
Avoid heavy A/T tires on the Highlander Hybrid — the rolling resistance penalty is significant and contradicts the reason buyers choose the Hybrid.
