I've been shopping around for tires for my 09 Highlander Sport. I found 245 55 19's for 161 shipped each from this site. However, I'd have to pay extra to get them mounted and balanced.
Has anyone found tires cheaper than that? They are Goodyears and supposed to wear well.
I appreciate any help.

Try Ebay or Craigslist...I've had a lot of luck with Craigslist lately...picked up a set of 4 Bridgestones (245 55 19) for $250 with 90%-85% thread just last month...

I like the looks of the 19" wheels on the Sport but don't like the harsh ride. Has anyone tried putting taller tires sush as P245/65 on a Sport?

What size wheel?
Some members run a 17" wheel and report a more plush ride.

I tried adding a picture, but it only will attach a pic from a URL not from my harddrive. Anyway, thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Especially since you are in Ocala and I am in Plant City. I can easily go up to Ocala.
I think I will look into putting wider tires on the 19" rims. Has anybody tried that? Say 255/55-19?

PCMike asked about wider tires like 255/55/R19 size.
On my 2008 HL Sport I replaced my original 245/55/R19 Toyo A20 Open Country OEMs with Bridgestone Dueler Alenza 255/55/R19 tires about 18 months ago. The OEM tires had 18,000 miles on them and could have gone a few thousand more but their wear pattern gave me no confidence that they would last safely much longer. I now have 17,000 miles on the Alenzas which are significantly better than the Toyos. They should last about 50,000 miles or more according to the current wear pattern.
The wider Alenzas (10 mm or about 0.4 inch) works just fine with my HL with no contact issues and less than a predicted 1.5% speedometer error. In practice the speedometer error is within the accuracy of the HL's speedometer. I've checked the accuracy versus my Garmin GPS and the difference can hardly be discerned.

Jim, thanks for taking the time to answer my post. That is just the confirmation I was looking for.
