Hey guys.  
  
  
  
 I need to get new tires for my 2000 Toyota Camry, and I have narrowed it down to four:  
  
  
  
 Bridgestone Turanza Serenity  
  
 Yokohama AVID ENVIGOR  
  
 Michelin Primacy MXV4  
  
 BFGoodrich Advantage TA  
  
 Toyo Versado LX  
  
  
  
 Which is the best of those five?  
  
  
  
 Any thoughts are appreciated.  
  
  
  
 Thanks.

Meant to say five, not four.

Visit [www.tirerack.com](http://www.tirerack.com) and [www.1010tires.com](http://www.1010tires.com). Both sites have excellent consumer ratings sections. You’ll get much more information at these sites than you’ll get on a forum.

I tried Tirerack. They showed the first four, but not the Toyo. They say the Yokohama is the best of the crop overall.

I’ll try the 10 10 site. Thanks.

I don’t think TR stocks Toyos, which is why they don’t show them

I believe Toyo tires to very good, close to level Michelin. If the Toyo’s are significantly less than Michelin I’d consider them strongly.

That’s what I’ve heard too. Plus TFT matches online prices, so that’ll help.

TFT is a huge Toyo pusher. Online prices are not always cheaper.

I was recently quotes less per tire at Sullivan tire than tire rack pricing. Basically check around.

The one I went to a couple months ago to check the tires didn’t even mention Toyo, so we’ll see.

I plan to check around, though.
