what is your spare???

[ToyotaToday]

This is really odd. I bought my 2002 used and the original tires have been replaced with some garbage tires. From what I understand the original tires on a 2002 were garbage.

I looked in the trunk and my spare, surprisingly enough, is a Michelin tire. My question is, what is your spare tire? Is it a Michelin? Why is the spare a nicer tire?

[Hajoca]

Michelin Energy MXV perhaps?

I know that Camrys came from the factory with Michelin Energy V rated tires, and bridgestone potenza RE92 H rated for the 16 inch wheels.

Other makes would be available for other sizes... on my CE, the 14 inch tires were michelins, but I do not recall the name.

michelin is garbage....

Lets say I got three Michey Energy's that need to be replaced soon. One of the Michey's are new on the car as well as my spare is a Full size Michey Energy. Probably going to use my spare soon, so ill only have to buy two new ones. And throw one of my old tires, in my spare tire compartment, just in case of an emergency ever happens

all michelin but not sure the exact model

I don't have a clue, it's been a long time since I last looked at it.

Didn't the gen 5 SE come with Michelins? Anyway. I have a Bridgestone Potenza RE92..just like my stock tires. My mom has a Dunlop 6000 (?) - though after 11 years, not sure if there's any air in it - the gen 3.5 V6 came with good tires..they lasted long.

Keep the tire with the best condition (most tread, and no sidewall cracks) as the spare.

Unless you dont plan on driving with the spare on long , since the spare is a black shittey alloy. Rather have 4 of the same rims, instead of 3.

Mine is a 04 SE that comes with Michelin Energy MXV (16inches) . I have no spare tire at the back now coz I have already been using it for over a year. I broke 2 tires . I used to think Michelin manufactures top grade tires, but the MXV is not that great in traction in my opinion.

my 05 se came wigh bridgstone turenza tires v rated tires dont know y since my car cant go over 121 mph so i figured the tires were over kill

[touringcamry]

The 02 Camry I had had Bridgestone Turanza ER33 on the 4 alloys. The spare was the same size but a black steel wheel and had Turanza ER33 also.

The spare in my car was the same one as the others. General HP400S in 205/65R15. As a spare tire, it's fine, but when the other 4 tires were still on the car, I couldn't wait to get rid of them.

[Hajoca]

The spare is just for getting the car and blown tire for repair or replace.

BTW, I don't know about your car, but mine came with 4 aluminum alloys, aluminum coloured, and a black steel spare.

Maybe your not counting correctly. Try it again there is one more wheel at the far corner

My 06 came with Goodyear Integrity "15 all the way around. They've been ok. I primarily do only highway driving here.
