Hi all. Please help me decide on new tyres. Have browsed through topics and am confused. Need new tyres for Aurion 215/60/16, not happy with original Dunlop tyre, dealers say not to go to 225/55/16 as a few of you have suggested on other topics, they all tell different stories about quality, wear, handling etc. Want something reliable esp in wet, long lasting and would Would love to have more performance looking, is that possible without changing rims? Am I being too fussy? New to all this,want tyres can trust. Sorry if all bit random with this post, usually only post stuff about Rugby!!!!

You can use either 215/60R16 or 225/60R16. I'm planning to use 225/60R16 soon because the price difference is like a few dollars.

I recommend Dunlop SP Sport FastResponse. Currently Beaurepaires have having a sale. $171 for 215/60R16 and $179 for 225/60R16.

i dont own an aurion but i got a Corolla Sportivo.

i bought 205/55/16 Yokohama A-Drive R1's for my car and they are great for everyday driving as they are quiet and fantastic in the wet. theres actually a video on youtube about them on the channel 9 show "The Car Show"

they are also a fairly decent performance driver as they are the R1 version not the standard a-drives but they aren't slicks or racing tyres but even still they are a great daily tyre

but dont know what they will be like on the aurion

good luck

I recently got a set of Falkan 26912 in 215/60/16 for my Aurion for $135 each.

Feel fine, good on wet roads, reasonably quiet. Too early to know re:Longevity?

Look here...Tyres and rims.

Id recommend either Bridgestone ADRENALIN RE001 or the Yokohama A Drive R1.

Toyo is another good brand to look at, Epecially Proxies (if available)

Dunlop and Goodyear were always good OZ tyres but i havent touched them since they offshored to Asia, so i cant say much about the quality.

Are any tyres manufactured in Oz these days?

I have Falkan 26912 in 215/60/16 on mine and they work well in all conditions except snow apparently so if you intend to head to the wintry hills then maybe not them. They were $135 each from memory. I haven't had them long enough to report longevity.

Some of the Bridgestone ones are still made here, like the RE001's and a few of the Bob Jane ones.

Falken Tyres are made in Japan from Memory, With Falken Tyres u get the bang for the buck. Awsome Prices i gotta admit

With Dunlop and Goodyear Tyres, they Charge Premium prices even though they make it in China and Taiwan.

I had RE001s - Would I have that again? probably not - The grip wasn't overly fantastic and it did wear out quite quick.

I gave the Excellence a shot and actually, i'm finding them to be better than the RE001s

Federals 595 EVOs or SSs.

Great handling and road grip for wet AND dry plus for the price you pay, I would be happy if I got 20,000KMs on them.

Not too noisy too. (595 Evo)

I do think the RE001 are over rated. Infact, most Bridgestones are. They don't make them like how they use to anymore.

Disappointing ....... <_<

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
