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! |

| Today, I found 2mm Gap between Trunk body and passanger side tail lenz( break light, maybe). I can see the backlight bulb wire through gap. I went to dealer ship to fix it. it is 700mile OTD now, only weeks fresh. Dealer service center told me, even though they change new tail lenz, gap is not solved. He also told me, the same model has similar gap in there and they saw me. Please check this gap for all owner and let us discuss. | |

Replying to: exler (Feb 09, 2009 11:09 am) Your dealer is a moron. Anyone who claims that a brand new 2009 Camry has "performance" tires mounted on it is either living in dreamland (and needs another Valium) or has delusions about entering the Paris-Dakar Rally......in his standard Corolla!! There's only one possible salvation for your dealer, and that is, if the car was USED when you bought it.....then the person who owned it first must have PUT the high performance tires on it........and HE'S the moron!
