Replying to: pf_flyer (Oct 17, 2006 10:35 am) I have a 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid with Firestone tires. I'll be lucky to get 20,000 miles out of them. My car is well maintained and I regularly check the tire pressure, which is set at 32 psi per manufactuer recomendations. No alignment problems. The car is basically local to and from work and not driven hard. I understand the Michelin tires will go about 45,000.
#40 of 50 camry hybrid poor tire wear by jollesue Jun 22, 2009 (3:13 pm)
I had a 2007 tch and the tires were gone at13,000 miles, now I have a 2009 and the first set of tires is gone at 15,000. The dealer blamed me for bad rotataion. Documented not true. Then I must have thown out of alignment. Tires were wearing to inside at the first rotation. Did they not beef up the suspension to accomadate the heavy batteries??

Replying to: jollesue (Jun 22, 2009 3:13 pm) The OEM tires on the TCH are generally pretty sucky. I got 37K out of mine but I ran them low on tread.   I got some Yokohama YK520 from Discount Tire and they have been great. Quieter, and the mileage had not been affected.

Replying to: tima1 (Nov 04, 2008 4:40 pm) I think you should go and change your dealer. If you show on your receipt that you paid for oil change with tire rotation and balance, then they are not doing a good job. All they want is to make money. So if you are concerned a little bit with your tires, they will try to milk it and have you change it. By the way. I have a Toyota Camry Hyrbid 2007 as well. I bought in in Feb. 2007. its now july 25, 2009. 76,000 miles. still using factory tires.
#43 of 50 replacement tires for 2009 Camery Hybrid by jra51 Aug 15, 2009 (1:38 pm)
I need to replace the tires on my 2009 camery Hybrid after 27000 miles. The Bridgestones offered a great ride but lasted only 27000 miles. I am sure this is a common issue with these tires any suggestions as what to replace with and do I need to continue with the "V" rating Replies to this message: mirspot (Aug 16, 2009 8:56 am) jra51 (Aug 22, 2009 1:25 am) jra51 (Aug 22, 2009 1:28 am) and 1 more... lewisgl (Nov 10, 2009 10:01 pm)

Replying to: jra51 (Aug 15, 2009 1:38 pm) yup...unfortunately, it is a common issue .... doesn't seem like Toyota cares...I replaced mine after 18 months (at 26K miles) on my 2007 hybrid....after quite a bit of research I went with the Michelin Pilot Exalto (H-rated) and I'm glad I did ... great performance so far on Chicago (tire-testing) roads. I did look at Michelin Primacy and Yokohama (I have only used Yokohama on my 10-year old Acura and love them).   I'd say pick a couple based on some initial research, then compare them more thoroughly (based on user feedback) and roll with one.   http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Michelin&tireModel=Pilot+Exalto- +A/S&partnum=16HR6EXAS Replies to this message: jra51 (Aug 22, 2009 1:25 am) jra51 (Aug 22, 2009 1:28 am) mirspot (Sep 06, 2009 1:02 am) lewisgl (Nov 10, 2009 10:01 pm)
#45 of 50 my 2007 TCH by larsb Aug 17, 2009 (9:41 am)
When my crappy OEM tires expired at 37,420, I went with Yokohama YK520 from Discount Tire and I like them a lot.

Replying to: jra51 (Aug 22, 2009 1:28 am) Sorry for the delay....   These Michelin Exaltos have been quite good ... I have ~33K on them now and they seem to be wearing quite miserly ... next time I go back to discount tire for a rotation/balancing, I'll ask for an "official" check but I think they have AT LEAST 30K more in them. The ride has been smooth and the gas mileage..well, I believe it has improved ... last summer I hit 42 MPG a few times while I was struggling to hit 38/39 earlier. You could argue, that probably I've gotten better at driving it but I don't think so. As for the noise, I could comment better if the interior of my car would stop rattling for a second ... I hate it from the beginning.. taken it many times to the dealer but they never gave a crap..always thought it was in my head. My ancient Acura is ton more shock absorbant and smoother than my TCH... if Acura started making Hybrids (and in the neighborhood of Camry pricing ~5K) ... I'd switch in a heartbeat. Just my opinion!
