I’m in the market for new tires for my Toyota Camry and I’m hoping to get some recommendations from fellow owners. With so many options available, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed and would really appreciate your insights on this.

What to Consider

When it comes to choosing tires, here are a few factors that I think are important:

  • Performance: I want tires that provide a good grip and handling, especially in wet conditions.
  • Durability: Quality and longevity are crucial. I don’t want to be replacing tires every year.
  • Cost: I have a budget in mind, but I’m willing to invest a bit more for better quality.
  • Fit: I need to make sure they’re compatible with my specific Camry model, any recommendations?

Current Options

I’ve looked into a few brands and types such as:

  • Michelin Primacy MXM4
  • Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack
  • Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady

Do you have experiences with these tires? Or maybe different ones that you’d swear by? I would love to hear about your personal experiences, especially regarding how they perform in various weather conditions, road noise, and overall comfort.

What I’m Looking For

If you could share your top-rated choices along with pros and cons, I would be extremely grateful! Any advice on tire maintenance or where to buy them at a good price would also be appreciated. Let’s help each other hit the road safely with the best options out there. Thanks in advance!

The tread life on the Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady is quite respectable. They can last up to 70,000 miles with proper maintenance!

That sounds great! But does anyone worry about weather extremes?

Good question, Sean! I think most of these tires, like the Michelin and Continental, handle weather changes well. Their performance feels solid in varied conditions.

But honestly, I’ve tried some ‘top-rated’ tires that were a flop. Have you all actually used these?

I highly recommend the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+. They offer fantastic grip and great responsiveness, especially if you enjoy sporty driving. Plus, they’re versatile for different weather conditions!

Great choice, simsmaria! I’ve had amazing results with the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 as well. They’re perfect for sporty handling but also handle wet conditions exceedingly well.

I’ve been doing research too, and the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric might be worth considering. It’s known for its performance on dry roads, especially during summer, but I’m curious about how they fare in rain. Anyone try those?

I had those on my Camry! They were phenomenal in dry conditions, but I would say be cautious in heavy rain. Sometimes they can lose grip a bit too quickly.

I live in an area with diverse weather and I found the Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS to be reliable. Solid grip and exceptional comfort, they balance performance and everyday usability nicely.

Thanks for the recommendation, vmoreno! I’m looking for something that doesn’t sacrifice comfort for sportiness. Do they make a lot of noise at higher speeds?

19

So I’ve checked out all these suggestions, but I can’t help but think: are we sure sportier tires are worth it for a Camry? I mean, it’s not a sports car, right?

You’re right, vsanchez! However, driving experience can greatly improve with quality tires, even on a Camry. Plus, you can have a bit of fun without going full sports car. It’s all about personal preference!
