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.
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.
The alternator is a Denso 210-1165, 150-amp unit.
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.
All I've done/had done for maintenance is a few oil changes, replaced the alternator and serpentine belt, had rear brake pads and rotors replaced, replaced the battery, new tires, and new headlight bulbs. Nothing too complicated or expensive
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.
Oh and there was evidence of a rodent’s nest in the cabin filter.
Had an 06 Toyota Highlander that did that after 4 or 5 years. It was a fault in the sensors or control circuit of the electric power steering unit that made the car jerk the wheel in the opposite direction direction to where I would start steering.
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.
