#12942 of 14778 New Car Test Drive Report by nimimi Aug 07, 2006 (11:27 am)
I just stumbled upon a review on www.nctd.com on the 2006 Avalon. Here's an interesting exerpt:   "Avalon's engine and transmission deliver unobtrusive performance. Fifth gear is a relaxed overdrive, allowing the engine to loaf on the highway. Driving over steep mountain passes with some determination rewarded us with 268 horsepower backed by an automatic that knows when to shift. In tighter sections, where our speeds were in the 30 to 50 mph range, we decided to operate the transmission in manual mode, tap-shifting from second to third gear and revving up and down through the corners."
#12946 of 14778 replacing tires by captain2 Aug 07, 2006 (2:12 pm)
after 36k on my Touring will likely be looking to replace my Michelins with a set of somethings soon. Have found the Michelins to be quite satisfactory but have always felt that tires in the last 25% of treadlife need to be replaced. Don't need anything for snow/ice just lots of rain. In any case, anybody out there with some specific recommendations given that I'm not about to screw up my car with some outrageous tire/wheel size combination. Think the same 215/55 or 225/55 on my stock 17" wheels - any thoughts or experiences would be helpful. Replies to this message: bluesman3 (Aug 07, 2006 3:18 pm)

Replying to: captain2 (Aug 07, 2006 2:12 pm) I've heard the Bridgestone Turanza series are a very nice tire. I've never owned a set so I can't speak from experience.   http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Bridgestone&tireModel=Turanza+L- S-Z
