From: mwebsurfer on 22 Nov 2007 14:50 I am about to replace the awful Contintal tires on my 2003 Camry. The old tires are not worn out but have terrible traction and stopping ability wet. i've had several near accidents with them. Which in your opinion would be the best replacement? I'm considering Goodyear Assurance tires or Michelin Pilot or weatherwise. Any suggestions will be helpful. My car has ABS and that doesn't even help in the wet or snow.

I put Michelin Hydroedge tires on my 2002 Camry LE and I couldn't be happier. I'm in BC, north okanagan, and winters in the valley are mostly wet streets, not deep snow. Slim

Cal.) but I replaced the Michelins on my '97 with Goodyear ..."Weatherhandler"s (as I recall), and the tires are wearing like iron, and handle perfectly in dry weather. Never had any trouble in rain (which we get so seldom) and I never took them into snow country.

I got a set from Tire Rack for my commuter Scion xB and couldn't be happier. When I need new tires for my Camry that's what I'm getting . . . . -Don -- With her marriage she got a new name and a dress. |
