I have the cc2s on my highlander and camry. They get about 45k miles on them. I have driven them on gravel and grass fields. Where they excel in my opinion is when you hit a deep puddle unexpectedly at high speeds. You don't lose control. Also, very good on slushy/icey roads and in the rain.
Best Tires for Toyota Highlander
Just put Defender 2’s on my 18’ Highlander. Bought it with coopers on it. Couldn’t believe how much better the ride is and how much quieter it is.
I did upgrade the tires to a quieter Continentals, from the standard issue goodyear. Its quiet, smooth, comfortable on the 4800 mile trip I took.
Pirelli Scorpion AS + 3 Mounted in July on 2023 Toyota Highlander, no problems at all, they feel great, feel planted, solid, predictable. Replaced oem Michelin Premier LTX that were excellent in all regards. These are just as good I think.
Had a set on my 2020 Highlander Hybrid. Put about 45k on them with no problems. We have crappy pothole roads and for the beating they took, they held up great. Just purchased again for a passenger car.
We had the CC2 on our 2022 Toyota Highlander and they were phenomenal. We put 25k miles on them before trading the car in and I'd wager they had around 60% tread left.
3rd set of Defenders on mine. Such a quiet and great handling all season tire.
We have these on our highlander, they are louder than the defenders we had…. But by no means are they loud.
I have them on my 2023 Highlander with 20" wheels, they were the OEM tire for my vehicle. After 2 years and 36k miles, I can say they're absolute trash. Mine just reached 4/32 - 5/32 recently. They slip terribly on wet roads, they don't inspire much confidence at all, and they are one of the worst tires I've ever owned.
Gonna cost me $1200 for 4 Michelin Defender 2's (245/55/19) on my 2008 Highlander (March 2025) with installation.
