From: PE on 30 May 2010 16:52 Hi all: I've got an 08 Sienna front wheel drive LE that's going to need a new set of tires before very much longer. Would appreciate recommendations regarding mid-to-high quality brand/models that are worthy of consideration, and any that should be avoided. Objectives are to maximize gas mileage and get at-least 40-50 thousand miles of service. Also, how are the valve stem/TPMS modules customarily handled when tires are replaced on a 2-year old Sienna with 25-30 thousand miles? Are they left alone, or do they get removed/reinstalled with new nuts/seals? Thanks for your replies!

From: PE on 30 May 2010 17:23 Thanks Jeff, I would never have thought of that. Come to think of it, "rubbery" is probably another critically important requirement of which I should not lose sight.

From: ron on 30 May 2010 17:33 I like Michelin MXV4 that we had on our fwd Avalon - check www.tirerack.com for ratings for your van - when I had tires done on Highlander they replaced the tire monitors, guess its required and wasn't cheap either

Any brand but Firestone or Bridgestone.
