We are looking at the Cooper CS4 H/V that seem to be recommended. I believe Toyota recommends the V-rated tire - why I do not know. Any suggestions on tires that will not cost an arm and a leg? Thanks.
Michelin Pilot Exalto AS
Goodyear Assurance
Sumitomo Touring LSV
Yokohama AS430
Cooper CS4 V
Toyo - something (I cannot remember the name of the tire)
Any suggestions as to which would be best for a 2006 Camry XLE for ride quality, handling, and treadlife? Thanks for any help.
The ride is great, they handle well in the rain; I cannot wait to try them in the snow. These are great tire for the Camry. We have a 2006 Camry XLE. I highly recommend these tires. The price is right too; about 1/2 the price of Michelin.
Does anyone have any experience with these Douglas tires? I can't seem to find any reviews anywhere out there.
Thanks in advance.
And please tell me what you think about the centercaps?
I doubt that acura centercaps would fit but if anyone can positively tell me that it will work then i am going to go ahead and put them on since it all depends on the centercaps because it would be really weird to have acura rims on a camry?
Thank you
As far as the center caps goes, the hub sizes between Toyota and Acura are different. As such, the center caps most likely will not fit.
Any suggestions from anyone in terms of decent tires to buy? Not looking to get top of the line. Just something comparable with better quality.
Thanks
If the Camry is made in Japan, it comes with Michelin tires.
Any suggestions on a good wet weather tire? I've had this problem since I bought the car--hence the three sets of tires.
The issue is that I have 215/55 R17 all season tires and I am currently in the market looking for winter tires and 215/55 R17 tires are very expensive.
If I go with 16"rims they are less than half in price.
My issue is would the 16" rims fit my car as I am not sure on the clearance in the hub for the calipers, discs, ABS sensor and other stuff if I switched to 16" rims.
Your advise is greatly appreciated.
I replaced my high priced Goodyear Eagle ResponsEdge tires because they rode harsh and loud with the inexpensive Falken Ziex ZE-912. I am very happy with the smoother ride and lower road noise. See my response 2 posts up for wheel requirements/specification. There are too many wheels on the market to list any specific ones.
You can move up to 17" wheel without too much ride quality loss. You can pair the 17" wheels with 225/50-17 tires for best results. Note that with 18" inch and above tires/wheels, you'll start feeling all the imperfections in the road.
I replaced them with Hankook Optimo H417 tires, same size. These were also quiet, and were wearing evenly with no issues. More recently, before the Optimos had to be replaced, I was able to obtain a nearly new set of 2006 Avalon XL stock alloy wheels and tires, size 215/60-16. This size was standard on the 2002-06 Camry XLE and is standard on all 2007-09 Camrys except the SE. The tires are the infamous Bridgestone Potenza RE-92s, but the rapid treadwear others have noted aren't a problem for me.
I bought an ’09 LE V6 about a year ago and love it except for the cheap looking plastic wheel covers which I knew I would replace when the OEM Bridgestone Turanza EL400-02 215/60R16 UTOG rated 260AA 94V which I projected at the time of purchase would wear out at around 20K miles. After 8K miles, I could no longer take looking at the el cheapo hubcaps so two days ago I ordered up a set of 17" Motegi US7 17x7 Brushed Aluminum Hyper Black wheels (with OEM 5.114 bolt pattern) which are on backorder and will arrive in three or four weeks. I will replace tires with 215/55R17’s - the standard size for the SE. I have tentatively boiled my choices to the Bridgestone Serenity UTOG 440 AA 94 V which meets OEM specs and carries a 50,000 mile warranty OR the Michelin Primacy MXV4 UTOG 620 AA 94H which does not meet the OEM V rated spec but carries a 60,000 mile warranty.
Both tires cost about $750 for a set of four, installed with TPMS, computer balance, & tax. [The OEM Michelin MXV4 Energy UTOG 440 AA 94V is out because they cost $1050 for a set of four and get poor wet traction reviews on Internet postings]. TireRack.com tested both tires on a BMW and rated the Primacy slightly higher than the Serenity. Any advice or opinions on these two or any other tires would be appreciated before I just “flip a coin” to make my choice. I live on a school bus route that is 1.2 miles from a suburban Kansas City fire station where they keep the local snow plows so driving through snow and ice is not much of an issue. Thanks.
I have the 17" rims and the stock tires size is 215/55/17. It is too much noise coming in the car and my friends told me to replace the tires with 215/60/17 and the noise will be gone. I understand it will give more rubber but will it ruin anything to the car? :confuse:
Go check www.tirerack.com
And look for their assessments of tire/road noise
P.S: Plz reply to this address hoangnam87@rocketmail.com.Thx a lots.
Any suggestions...I live in Rhode Island...some snow concerns.
How about selling them on Craigslist?
You need a better excuse............
Worth switching out for these at a discount tire place if it's a good deal?
Can you put 94H or 94T on the front if you've got 94V on the rear?
I recently got laid off, but can't put off getting front tires any longer. Can you recommend a reasonably priced quality tire that I can use with the rear tires that I am keeping?
I currently live in NC where we only get snow a couple of times a year. My plan is to move to FL after this winter season. I mostly just drive on the streets and I think I just need a basic Grand Touring All-Season tire.
Unfortunately, I just found out I have to go to Florida right away and have to buy the tires tomorrow. Can anyone make a quick recommendation?
I've been looking at Tire Rack.com, but am a bit overwhelmed. If I can get something for under $100 each, that would be ideal.
You'll be in Florida behind some old ladies, Your maximum practical speed will be 35!
If you shift brands and models, you want to keep the same tire on both right and left of the same axle, so the sidewall flex is the same. If you are pleased with your old tire performance and lifespan, I'd go get those T's tonight.
