Can't decide between the SE or the XLE

Hey guys, looking to lease a camry within a few days. Cant decide which model to get. How are the tires on the SEs versus the XLE? dont really want to have to replace the tires witin 2 years if I get the SE. HOw is the SE in the snow? how different is the ride between these two?

Thanks

Tires are tires. They use soft rubber tires to provide good grip but they are all short lived. Look at the index numbers on their sides. If you can find one with a higher number get the dealer to swap them out for you. Most oem tires are bald by the time they hit 30k miles.HOw is the SE in the snow? It's front wheel drive. Same as the xle.how different is the ride between these two? The SE will be a little more stiff because it sits about an inch lower and has cross ties behind the back seat to lend rigidity to the body. If you are looking at theI4, I believe the SE is tuned differently and produces 10 more horsepower.

Thanks

It totally depends on what you want the car to look like, since it's a lease, I doubt you'd want to put much work into it.

The choice isn't really that hard.... do you want kinda sporty, or sorta luxurious?
