Best Tires For 2005 Camry

I have 35 k miles on my 2005 4cyl camry and it's time for some new tires.
We live in New England and snow traction is very important, but a comfortable ride is first on my list for replacement tires...

Can someone point me in the right direction as to which tires would be my best option based on my criteria? Also, where I can purchase the tires.

Thanks in advance!

Goodyear Assurance TripleTred are a great all season tire, although kinda pricey.

I put a set on my g/f's 05 Accord LXSE coupe.

The best place for tire reviews is www.tirerack.com. Compare the performance and price to decide which ones to buy. Sometimes, their prices are cheap, so you can ask a local store to pricematch.

You have many options.

http://www.tirerack.com is a good place to buy tires on-line with a great selection.

http://www.discounttiredirect.com is another a good place on-line with a great selection.

if you go to the sites above, you can find reviews on each tire.

I am looking at Goodyear Comfortreads myself for a next set.

I have had good luck using the Dunlop Sport A2's on both my 94 and 98 Camry XLE's. They are an H speed rated all season tire with decent snow traction. They are now called Dunlop Sport A2 Plus.

Good tires.
I have the Regatta 2. Quite and reliable tires. 80k tires and decent price.

This is the goodyear tire scale for PASSENGER/ALL SEASON tires
intergrite - good (comes on some Highlander)
Regatta 2 - Better
Assurance triple thread - best

...that is how they promote it

They are good tires. They are PERRFORMANCE tires
i have it on my 2000 camry too.
Softer compund than the tires mentioned above.
I found it to be a bit noisier than the Regatta 2 as it is a performance tire. More expensive or as expensive as the Assurance.

I think this came on as OE. Check tirerack.com
I heard that it does not last but it does give a good grip.




Depending on how much you want to spend, I would suggest looking at ALL SEASON tires.
Do not forget yokohama AVID.
Reviews on tirerack.com are really good and it is very well priced (cheaper than goodyear, michellins and dunlop) but it is still quality tires..
