tires

I was wondering which tires you guys like on your Camry. I have 205/65 's on stock 15" steelies on a '95 v6 sedan. And I need new rubber, bad. Had a flat today, but besides that the fronts are almost nearly bald and the rears aren't that much better. I just need a summer tire thats good in the rain. I like to keep the psi pretty high to improve mpg's, too. I drove a BMW 318i with new Michelin Pilots (I think thats what they were) in the rain and was pretty impressed. Any info appreciated.

Use Good Tires on Front at Least

By now im sure you've bought the tires already. Maybe im the wrong person to ask cause i've always been a cheap tire fan. BUT. for camry, do make sure to get good tires at least for the fronts! Or you might wind up with a radial-pull problem (car wants to steer itself left or right while driving straight and you have to continually correct). Which is one of the most annoying driving conditions in the world.
At work we use Dunlops and michelin, and sometimes Bridgestone on the Camrys and i've never known them to have radial pull. For the backs you could use whatever you want but think twice before you rotate them.

On my Gen3 I went with the cheapest I could, which were Firestone Integra's I believe. Decent tires, but nothing special.

They were also 205-65 I believe, on my stock 15" XLE rims.
