I took off oem Bridgestone. ecopia. On my 2017 Highlander. We we left Costco my wife said what's that noise. Tire road noise was far greater than old tires with 50k on . Costco said they would put on a lesser tire. I made a mistake reading reviews .

What drivers say about their 245/55 R19 tires
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
As an OEM tire on car, they normally try to give you a decent wearing tire. In this case, they did not. Having to replace tires before 35,000 miles is ridiculous. Manufacturers try to hard to give a smooth soft ride on a new car at the expense of durability. And they also increase tire size for cushion, but 19" tires are not normal and therefore expensive.
I have been using this set of tires for 4 winters and they grip very well in the snow, the comfort is also good, wear out very low.
My car is a HIGHLANDER 3.5 AWD, lock the center diff, I can start up with more than 80% throttle in the snow, without skid, and brake confidently, but for snowless surfaces, this is not a good model.
If the temperature rises above 7°C and you haven't switch back to all-season tires, the R2 will wear out faster than you thought, and the noise is also noticeable.
I think it's only suitable for users in areas with heavy snow. Snow-covered road conditions, the R2 makes your 4WD unstopable. If you live in a temperate region and have limited average annual snowfall, don't waste this great set of snow tires, you should save a lot of money by buying a set of all-season tires.
Not great traction. Wear experience is not good. 38000 miles and need to be replacing soon. 3/32 tread left.
these tires made me change the wheel bearings, they behaved so badly on the road, until I went to the dealer and I was told that the problem is with the tires…. avoid, I would never buy again…
This is a very good handling and smooth riding tire. It is very quiet and road noise is nonexistent. The tire design seems to soak up and deaden the transfer of any road imperfects and bumps into the vehicle cabin. Thank you Pirelli for manufacturing such an excellent all round SUV tire.
I was doing my research on the next on what to buy for my next tires for my midsize crossover SUV. The original set come with Toyo Open Country A20 and it wasn't bad at all. Most people recommended Perilli and Continental but price tag is nearly $300 for each so I go for my good old Yokohama. I did some research and I found out about Blue Earth and Orange oil. I didn't wait any longer to seal the deal $216 each and plus $10 each for my old tires.
Ok here is my honest opinion about the GO55 Blue Earth.
Comfort: 5 Stars. Very smooth on Highway surface and 50% less feel on Bad surface "very elastic".
Grip: 4 Stars. Very nice grip but doesn't really to control to my satisfaction from beautiful surface to small rock dirt road.
Wear: 5 Stars. After more than 100 miles from changed of the tires I don't see any significant change of wear and tear.
Buy again I can't really tell because the next 3 years might come up with a different technology worth the try.
I am highly recommended for this Yokohama GO55 Blue Earth for those who are looking for Durability, Technology, Economy, and Comfort.
For my negative though Traction Test is B.
