I just got the Michelin CC2s installed two days ago replacing worn down Nokian WRG2s on my 2011 Toyota Sienna and so far the ride quality is significantly better compared to the Nokians. Heck the road noise that people were mentioning doesn't seem to be a thing on my vehicle. Road noise on the old Nokians was far far more noticeable.
My co workers wife had a high mileage Sienna 3.0. Oil leaking from every seal. We started using Castrol high mileage, it stopped leaving spots in his driveway and quit loosing 1.5 qrts between oil changes.
Just replaced the timing belt on a 25 year old Sienna with 150k miles. Almost pristine. No cracks, very little wear. I was surprised.
Was doing control arms for my then boss at the time on his Toyota Sienna.
I have Vrederstein hitrac all season on my sienna, used it for 8k miles, so far so good. I do notice my mpg is lower by 1-2mpg though.
Have had Defenders on the 2013 Sienna, a heavier vehicle than the Highlander, and they lasted me 53k miles...could have gone longer, I thought I had a worn out tread causing noise that turned out to be a bearing.
I've enjoyed Yokos on a Sienna AWD for the ride comfort. Driving is 95% city/hwy, 5% gentle offroad (graded forest roads, snow <6", etc.) They tend to get a little noisey as they are at their last 20% of life and a full life is closer to 50k mi than the rated 60k.
Prestone does work, but Toyota uses RTV to seal the coolant passages between timing cover/thermostat housing and engine block. Prestone uses 2-EHA which has been shown to be aggressive on silicone, however it’s not uncommon to see leaks with the OE coolant that uses sebacic acid which is also a plasticizer. That said, I have a Sienna and LS430 that’s filled with Prestone, no coolant leaks… yet.
OEM was like $70 per coil! Ripoff.
We had Goodyear assurance all seasons on our Toyota sienna and they were replaced under warranty with only 22k miles on them. When they were new they were great but they wore quickly and wet traction was an issue towards the end.
