Replying to: mrsjenn25 (Jul 20, 2006 7:25 am) As in camry SE there is a option of getting all season tires at not extra cost i thought of calling Toyota but all in vain.....toyota reps say it is a option of the dealer to order the car with all season/summer tires...........i feel that aint right...on the brochure it says ALL SEASON TIRES AT NO COST OPTION....no where it says its a dealer option. I have contacted the dealer and explained the whole scenario...and now just waiting for the dealer to get back to me.Its been a week now and this norning i called her and the customer rep at dealer says she has no idea about the kind of tires.......i am stuck with the tires i dont want.....please suggest me what to do???... |

Replying to: deep6 (Jul 20, 2006 11:57 am) I don't have an SE and know which tire shipped with it, but generically in tires they all have different traction ratings, which correlate to how sticky/soft the rubber is. The softer the rubber, the stickier it is and adheres to the pavement, the quicker the rubber rubs off, and therefore the shorter mileage it will have. For sports cars you usually want softer rubber for the higher cornering traction. You pay for that added traction, with shorter tire life. You'd also want very soft tires on motorcycles. High mileage rated tires, have very hard rubber, doesn't stick to the pavement as well, therefore has less cornering traction, but the rubber then lasts for much higher mileage. If you 'ordered' the car, then if you specified the optional tires they should have gotten the car with that on it. If they didn't, you would have a very strong case for them to correct their error. If you bought a car off the lot, then you're stuck with the tires that are on it, unless the dealership is willing to swap out the tires with another car (or their inventory) to close the deal with you. I suspect the resolution of your concern, is going to net down to exactly what discussions you had with the salesman, whether it was a notable negotiation point or said in passing comments, if it was written down, and how many miles you've put on the tires already. Good luck. |

Replying to: deep6 (Jul 20, 2006 11:57 am) If you live in a non-snow area I wouldn't worry about it. As far as milage goes, my Bridgestones on the Hybrid only have a wear rating of 280. Not nearly as high as I would have expected. I don't inagine they'll be good for much more than 25,000 miles. Wear ratings are really only relative to other ratings with the same manufacturer but it does give an indication as to what to expect. Waht is the wear rating of the tires you have?

This is my 3rd car this year. The other two were a Honda Odyssey and Honda S2000 (leased). I find that I can't drive my daughter in the S2000, so decided to buy a Camry (newer body style and smoother ride than Accord). Anyhow, shopped around and ended up buying in So Cal for hundreds cheaper. The Nor Cal dealers wouldn't budge to come close to the ones in LA...so I bought a ticket down to Toyota Marina del Rey on Southwest for $100 one way. Camry LE auto - Gray basic bare bones with no other options $18,507 + tax, title, and license. it's the cheapest I could get. I'm sure that Longo Toyota would have matched or even beaten it by a few hundred, but I wasn't going to taxi it from Ontario airport to Longo. At least I was able to visit some friends during my car purchase. It drive great! Best of luck buying. |

But, with all the garbage added on to the vehicle that are worthless and overpriced, they are virtually selling you the vehicle at MSRP. My advice is get the vehicle without these options and negotiate your best price from there. If they dont budge, try Honda and Hyundai.
