Brad, thank you for backing
Brad, thank you for backing up my feelings about these low profile, large diameter wheels on family cars. A loaded XLE is the sweet spot for the Highlander for sure. I think if more of us point out the negative aspects of the ride caused by these "sporty" looking tires maybe someday the automakers will wake up and stop the madness. My 2007 Highlander is the vehicle that best did its job of all the cars I've owned. I have the 16 inch rims and every time I hit a monster pothole (which is daily) I am glad I did not get the larger ones with the low profile rubber.
