#740 of 904 "Performance" tires by notmybmw Feb 10, 2009 (4:05 pm)
The word "performance" as it relates to the type/brand of tires being installed on new Camrys, (at least those for sale in your neck of the woods) is obviously being used very "loosely". There's absolutely no need for a "performance" tire on a 150(ish) hp car with a 4 cylinder automatic under the hood. That is, if what they mean by 'performance' is "HIGH" performance. If they DON'T mean HIGH performance.......then they shouldn't say PERFORMANCE at all. If it's not 'high' performance......it's a tire. Plain and simple. And if it's only getting 20k miles.....then it's a CRAPPY tire. And I think I can say this with some level of authority, since neither the brand nor model of tire is quoted anywhere in the sales literature or on the website. It's a crappy tire that probably cost the factory somewhere around 20 bucks. If the tire were anything to brag about.....they'd BRAG about it...but they don't. I'm amazed they even give you the size! Think about it. The SE (4cyl automatic) has no more horsepower, goes no faster and is pretty much the same as the base model......except for some trim. Don't you have to ask yourself why the factory would put a "lower" life tire on the car? (Or in their words: a tire that "experiences greater tire wear".) In short, if their "PERFORMANCE" tires are projected to get only 24 thousand miles OR LESS......ask your dealer to do himself (and you) a favor: save themselves some money and swap the "performance" tires for some shitty old Michelins that 'only' get 30 or 40,000 miles.

Replying to: jackmalak (Feb 10, 2009 12:33 pm) So why not just take it to a good seat place and have them replace the guts of the seat and make it so it fits you better. Should be a whole lot cheaper. Replies to this message: jackmalak (Feb 10, 2009 7:29 pm)

Replying to: amirk (Feb 05, 2009 8:37 am) My camry is a based model without electronic seat or lumbar support. I still feel comfortable. Probably you can solve this problem tilt seat front seat a little bit as recommended by radcam? I don't know what is lumbar support, so I can't comment. But camry is really fun to drive.

Replying to: notmybmw (Feb 10, 2009 4:05 pm) If I would have known that about performance tires when I bought the car I would have asked the car dealer to do that switch. It is about, living and learning. I do agree on Michelin--had some on a new Corolla that lasted 38K. In ads here I see "performance" tires advertised all the time along with "touring" tires. No more performance tires for me.

Replying to: jackmalak (Feb 10, 2009 12:33 pm) I mean no disrespect, but I have read very few complaints about seat comfort of the 6th generation Camry on Edmunds Carspace and other Toyota-specific website forums. Bottom line - seat comfort of the 2007 - current Camry is NOT a widespread complaint. Maybe yours is just different, or it just doesn't fit you personally. One suggestion - take it to another dealer. Good luck.

Replying to: jackmalak (Feb 11, 2009 7:11 am) Maybe if you went to a place that replaces the material on seats they could fix it for you real easy. I'm betting they can pull the cover off the back and remove the air bladder and all would be well. They may even put in a thin piece of foam to replace the bladder if needed. Most seat back material is real easy to remove as long as they don't have the side air bags in the seat itself. Get out your yellow pages and call a couple places and tell them your problem over the phone and they may be able to say whether they can do something or not. Just don't take the first persons word if he says he can't fix it as less face it, these seats were put together from scarach the first time and can be fixed the same way. May not take any longer to find out than it does to complain here.
