#194 of 223 Re: Goodyear Assurance TripleTred [tfelton] by 55396 Jan 04, 2009 (5:41 pm)
Replying to: tfelton (Jan 04, 2009 9:37 am) I have Goodyear Comfortreds (same family) on my wifes 03 mounted on custom wheels which come off for winter. Vague soft handling at first until things took a 'set' but then fine. I believe I posted elsewhere about that and suspension upgrades.
#195 of 223 Tire Chains by tfelton Jan 10, 2009 (11:53 am)
I just got a set of Thule CB-12 100 tire chains for my '08 Avalon. They fit around the tire OK but the tension chain is way too short to attach as per the illustration in the instructions. You can get it to attach, but not in the prescribed manner.   Has anyone had any experience with this brand?
#196 of 223 Nexen Tires - Update by fin Jan 26, 2009 (2:29 pm)
Just had these tires rotated at about 5.5k...   In short, they are as good as Michelin to this point. Ride is a liitle better, actually. Handling and performance are the same under all conditions as the Michelin, except we have had no snow to drive on... yet... here in metro Atlanta. No significant wear is visible on the tire tread or the shoulder even for the ones that were on the front.   So far, so good. Satisfaction at half the price of the MXV4's. Consider the Nexen brand if you need tires for an Avalon.
#197 of 223 98 Avalon camber adjustment by aguerrini Apr 08, 2009 (4:58 pm)
My car (135Kmiles) got a negative camber and equally chewed-up the inside of both front tires to the steel belt in about 10Kmiles since tires and struts were replaced. (Note: Original struts lasted for 120Kmiles)   Shop #1 calls for plain wheel alignment. Shop #2 call for struts replacement. Other information sources state 98 Avalon does not have caster-camber adjustment. What is the correct solution to have this problem fixed?

Replying to: njavalonguy (Jun 05, 2009 1:00 pm) Used Michelins and one set of Toyos on my first two Avalons, a '99 and an '03. On the '07 at 28k on the car I went to Nexen. Half the price and at 40k now they still look new. No difference in overall performance from the factory Michelins and the ride is better. If they sell Nexens in your area they are worth a look. Long term, can't say... still too new. But, so far, so good.
#202 of 223 blow out by txsweetlady Jun 14, 2009 (10:52 pm)
I have a 2009 limited avalon with somekind of special wheels..........It was a dealer demo and I have only had it about 6 weeks. Today was the first time anyone ever road in the back. We left the movies and drove about two miles ...the back drivers side tire was smoking.... it was gone. The tires say bridgestone....firestone.... the tire just became power....I know the belt broke because I now have dents and scraps on my new car.... to top that off, I have to have a special key to remove the luggnuts which was not in the new car........... then when the spare tire was removed..........It has a different rim and is a different size tire.... it is a michelin........ any one else out there have this kind of problem???

Replying to: txsweetlady (Jun 14, 2009 10:52 pm) You appear to have answered your own question as to how this happened: with some kind of special wheels... The wheels and/or tires are oversize in diameter or width or both. When someone rode in the rear seat the tires rubbed the body. This is just one of many possible problems with suspension or wheel/tire modifications to any car, not just Avalons.   If this car came from a Toyota dealer then take it back and demand an answer as to how this happened. Did you sign anything that says the car has wheels and tires that are different and might be a problem? At your risk? Not from Toyota? Or other warnings? And the special wheel lock key? Or not. Approved factory changes should never cause this problem.   Many forum members have wheel and tire modifications to Avalons that work OK. One of them may have more details and suggestions.
