Camry tire question

Newbie · 2008-05-16T06:35:16+00:00

Thank you for all the help in other threads. I have another question and it concerns my brother-in-law's camry. Hepurchased it about a year ago from a friend and it came with ahodge-podge of tires. About a year ago he went to a Toyota dealership in Chicago and on theirrecommendation bought 4 Yokohama Avid TRZ tires. A few days ago, he ruined one of the tires in a minor stupid incident.Which lead to my questions:(1) Although he bought these with a dealership's recommendation, someplace is telling him that these tires are not strong enough for a heavycar like camry and he should buy 4 new ones. Is that true? (2) Usually one buys new tires in pairs. But he is thinking that his 3tires are only 1 year / 10K miles old, so maybe he can just buy one?Is that a good idea?Thanks for all help

My first set of Michelins were excellent. That was in 1975. I bought one more set a few years later. That was the last set.

When I have the $$$, I buy Bridgestones.

Maybe today they do, but they didn't in 1986. Actually, I kind of doubt that economy cars have speed limiters even today to keep them from exceeding their tire ratings...when they can't do it anyway.
