BTW, A new grandson arrived earlier this year - Only 12 years before he can front for his first motorkhana in the LRR!
EeeeeeHaaaaah!!!!!..........

You might want to buy some petrol for him now because I doubt that a 12 year old's McDonalds wage will pay for it in 2020!

Oh, tyres for the Camry? No idea. As for LRR, well my 615s are wearing pretty rapidly but pretty sticky for a road tyre.

225/75/17.5 Michelin Green "X" on my daily driver

Until recently I had a Camry Altise and a Camry CSI before that. I was always happy with Yokahamas and most recently had a set of Toyos. Sorry I dont recall the specific types as I no longer have the Camry but would have cost around $130 each. The tyres Toyota put on as originals are terribly noisy, especially on concrete highways. Michelins used to be the premium tyre years ago but I suspect most other brands have caught up to their quality now. As always you need to talk with the tyre dealer whether you want long wear or good grip, whether you find the current tyres noisy or not. I always believe its worth paying extra for good tyres but the problem is you dont really know until after you have bought them!

The car I have now is a VY Commie which came with Bob Jane All Rounders. I always thought they would be cheap and nasty but on a daily drive car I have found them okay both for around town and some highway work. I have heard though that they don't last too long.

Hope that helps.

cheers

I just replaced the tires on Mrs Bigdog's Focus with a set of Bridgestone Potenzas (195/60x15) at $125 a tire and I'm very impressed with their grip all round, nice and quiet too. I run T1R toyos on the SP (my daily driver) and have had great mileage from them (35000km on the last ones) given that traction in my car is optional extra

Yokohama A539's on my car atm, too grippy and don't give much warning when they reach the edge of their available abilities

Adrenalins are not yet around in 14" sizes but Bridgestone are still selling their GIIIs in 14s which are equal to the Adrenalins in price, performance and comfort.

Couldn't agree more about the Michelins. We had Michelin Energy as OEMs on the other car. We abandoned them at less than 25% worn because of scary lack of grip combined with incredible harshness. She wanted to sell the car until we realised all its problems were caused by the tyres.

but I notice that you guys are creaming over the Adrenalins.......Why so?[/color]

I've always run Yoko tyres on all our cars and have them on the Camry.

But when I went to look at tyres to go on my new 15x7 rims, I just couldn't justify the $80 a tyre
difference between the A Drives and the Bridgestone RE001s.
I've found them to be extremely quite,smooth and bloody brilliant wet or dry, mind you I am comparing them to the
Falkens that were on the car when we bought it, (absolute S%^T tyres)

2 track days haven't even worn the sides off the tread but that is probably the old woman driving ( shut up ZOOM ZOOM)
