Summer Tires?

CDN_Merlin · Post by **CDN_Merlin** » Thu Apr 14, 2005 9:51 am

Well, it's that time of the year again where Canada only has 2 dyas of summer weather but I need new summer tires.

Any recomendations for mid range tires?

What do you consider a mid-range tire? A better question would be -- how much are you willing to spend? If money is not really a concern, an EXCELLENT summer tire would be the Yokohama Adavans...STIIIIIICKY!!!

For 215 sized tire, go for Michelin Harmony.

For 225, go for Pirelli Pzero.

Both offer excellent conditions on dry and especially wet/snowy weather, especially the Pirelli. Best place to buy them is www.tirerack.com. It organizes the tires into various catagories so you can pick which one you'd like. The 2 above are the ones I highly reccomend, and the reviews speak highly of them both.

I have Bridgestone Blizzaks for Winter.

I'm not looking at spending 100$ a tire. More like 40-50 CDN.

Toyo Proxies 4 are a good tire for all weather.

Baal, unless I get a job next week, I really can't affoprd to spend 600$ on tires like I did the Blizzaks. I wish I could but I won't find out about a job till next week at the earliest.

See if your tire guys can find you a set of Kumho Tires I have never owned a set of these tires but I hear good thing about them and they should be pretty close to your price range.

They've gone down in price overthe past 5 years, but still pretty spendy. Awesome tire!

FP, why bother even suggesting those tires? I mean 149$ and thats probably in USD. I don't want to spend upwards of 200$ per tire and those are way to big for a 4 door Camry. Read my post next time.

Merl, those tires I reccomended may be expensive, but will last you 60,000 miles! All of the cheaper 40-50 dollar tires will only last you in and around 25 or 30 thousand miles. So one way or another, you are still paying nearly the same amount for a tire.
