Replying to: wwest (Jan 28, 2009 4:09 pm) I do have to agree with the previous poster that with seats, you have to try before you buy, preferably by taking a long test drive. Even better, try to rent the car of your interest for a weekend before you buy. I would speculate this is especially important if you have a prior history of back or neck problems, are over 50 (like me), or are obese. |

Has anyone got a great deal on tires from a selling dealer or Toyota if you were not pleased with the tire wear from your original equipment tires?

That's my advice for putting rubber on any car. Not likely that a car dealer can touch a tire guy who's putting on 30 or 50 sets a day. Look in the Yellow Pages.....or in the daily newspaper: call three guys for quotes (installed and balanced) and if he can't tell you exactly what tire SHOULD be on the car withing 5 seconds of you telling him the year and model.....hang up. That's my two cents.....and I've put a lot of tires on three Camry's over 15 years. Mike

Replying to: zhengm (Jan 29, 2009 11:09 pm) I have been driving different cars (honda accord, lexus, toyota sienna), and none of them gave me any problems. But as soon as i drive this toyota camry 08, i get back pain. I do agree that i should have test driven it for longer time than i did, but i didnt expect a brand new toyota car would have such a big issue and the dealers not do anything about it.

Replying to: notmybmw (Feb 05, 2009 9:52 am) Just as an example, I had an '80 Volvo 240 for 21 years. I regularly used Michelin XZX tires, which are no longer made, and got 47K to 60K miles out of them. (I bought them in pairs, always putting the new tires on the rear, and moving the former rear tires to the front.) One time I tried Dunlop SP 40s on the rear axle. These lasted only about 24K miles as I recall, wearing most quickly in the center of the tread (no different tire pressure from the Michelins). |

Replying to: amirk (Feb 05, 2009 8:37 am) I also make sure the the front is lifted a bit, but I don't feel that setting is as critical as the lumbar. I've previously had a similar issue when I rent Lincoln Town Cars to drive from the Bay Area to L.A. and back. Designed to be a freeway cruiser, but until I make that adjustment, I tend to squirm. Good Luck! |
