Best tires for 98 camry

[black98camryv6xle]

I have to buy new tires and im wondering which brand has good tires for this car ?

[JohnGD]

Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S and "feel every curve". However, the Primacy MXV4 should give a you a quieter, smoother ride and about 50% longer tread life.

Check the Surveys tab on Tirerack.com

Its all about what you want out of your tires. Long life? Quiet smooth ride? Sticky in the summer? Able to use in the winter? Performance in rain? Better for cornering? But JohnGD has some good choices up there from michelin's line up. Primacy MXV4 is a luxury touring tire with roughly 100,000km life span and exceptional ride. Now Nokian makes their eNTYRE which is just as nice of a ride, last 130,000km and sells for considerable less. Theres lots of options. I run a kal tire so if you have any questions ask away.

+1 on Pilot Exalto. Michelin tires last forever. Yokohoma, General, etc are good too.

Anything Michelin

Michelin has always been a favorite of mine.

I found 2 tires good for all season driving (also NJ here), depending on tire size you want the price may vary, but they were also quite inexpensive (on tirerack.com) when I was buying them:

a) Dunlop SP Sport Signature 205/65/15 94V 460 AA A (~$80/each)

b) Yokohama AVID Envigor 205/60/16 92V 560 A A (now ~$90/each)

look up user reviews on tirerack.com on those models and you will see people have been generally happy with them (me included), especially the price is way below Michelins

I tried many tires around here and had so so experience. Worst tires I had were some Bridgestone Potenza G019 (or was it RE92) ... good for 1 year, then no traction in rain/snow at half thread left ...

also had some other Dunlop OE (4000 something), but they were average if not less than that.

The biggest joke of tires I had was Bridgestone HP550, I think they don't sell it up here, but I had those tires (front axle) on car coming from FL ... tires were utter piece of shit.

I had a set of those on one of my old cars and was pretty impressed with them myself. Got them for less than $70.00 each so the price very reasonable to have all 4 installed but what really made it a good deal was their great performance as an all weather tire. Lot's of tires can be had in that price range but very few will perform as well as these Dunlops will. They were especially good tires in the rain even when compared to tires twice their price.

I agree. wife's car has been using them for some time now (little over 1 year now) and they are excellent rubber, especially for that price it's a steal.

I like them same as you do, very good all weather tires. even in snow they behave

If I remember well I bought them for like $77/each from tirerack (sent to local shop, free install, $10/tire balancing).

im looking for tires that i can use all seasons, due to snow, and also have a smooth ride because i drive on the highway most of the time

[fenixus]

black98camryv6xle, 15'' or 16'' rims ?

google "tirerack dunlop sp sport signature" (without quotes) and you will find likely the best priced awesome tires for all season driving in NJ/NY area

tirerack has also the program called "recommended Installer" where you can ship new tires directly to that shop and do the installation according to prices they gave tirerack (I have 1 shop in Clifton doing free installation and excellent $10 per tire balancing on Hunter GSP9700 machine).

Tirerack currently has also $40 off rebate for those mentioned Dunlops if you buy 4 of them

pirelli P4 four season- I got 25K miles on them and still got 50-60% of tread left and you must conceder TX climate and concrete roads.
they work perfect with soft camry's suspention, great on HWY too.
P4 bit pricey vs other tires, but they will pay you back with more miles and less spend on mounting.
best tires I ever had (and I went through quiet few sets) in the rain.deep grooves and special tread disign makes difference.
plus they are all season, I had chance to try them this winter, very good on snow-stock michelins MXV4 are garbage vs P4 and michelins were gone by 18K miles…
my sister had same tires on her IS250-she got ES wheels with new michelin tires-gone by 20K.

another good tires Yoko avid touring-S, I had same tires on my old car and just got set for wife's car.

michelin can give you quiet ride and high bill to pay, nothing else.

go to tirerack and check out survey result.
before you buy anything.
