Anyone have comments to make on winter tires for 2002 Camry SE ?
Have been contemplating Michelin Pilot Alpin. Anyone have experience with these ?
Have found that the original all-season tires are not very good here in Canadian winters
Thanks

I would suggest Nokian WR as a good winter tire for Canadian Winters. Here is the product info:
The OEM tires on the SE are classified as Performance tires not All-Season (at least on the 03/04 models). The other models (LE, XLE) come with the All-Season radial.

Here are Some useful comparisons. The Alpins ranked 6th in the survey.

Hi,
I am in Canada, and I want to know if I can put 15 inches winter tires on my SE with 4 wheel disks brakes? My dealer told me that I have to go with 16" but another dealer say that I can put 15"... TIA

Going with a 15 inch tire would give you better winter handling. Its better to get a narrower tire that digs into snow then a wider tire that goes over it.
As long as the tire can support the vehicle weight and the vehicle dynamics do not become adversely affected by this, I don't see the harm with going with a 15" tire.
If your in Canada and have avg amounts of snow, I would suggest the Nokian WR tires. If you want extra grip, go with the Nokian Hakka 1's.
