Hi Scott,

Saw your 2003 posting. I'm in the same boat with my 2002 Highlander. Not sure if I should replace with the same OEM Goodyear Integrity tire. What did you end up getting and are you satisfied?

Yeah, I need to replace my Goodyear Integrity tires on my 2002 Highlander soon. Not sure what to replace with. I did get 50,000 miles out of the Integrity tire and they seem to be OK on wet roads here in Louisiana.

I thought the Integrities handled pretty well on wet and snow. I'm in SW PA. I have close to 40k. The tread seems pretty weak looking and want to replace before winter hits. Don't know the actual tread that is left. I might just get the same tire. The price seems right.

The new Goodyear Fortera TripleTred tires are much, much better than the OEM tires. Also check tirerack.com

Swapped out the original Goodyear tires for a set of Michelin Cross Terrain SUV tires on my Highlander after 10K.

No comparison except maybe for the ride. Excellent rain and snow traction which you don't get with the originals. Cost a little more but you only have one life.
