Hi All, I've done about 30k on my Aurion Touring 2008 now. The tyres at the front seem to be wearing away whereas the back ones still seem ok. That said, I have two questions... 1. Do you guys recommend changing all tyres at once or staggered (2 now then 2 later)? 2. Choice magazine recently did a survey on the best tyres for the bigger v6's (aurion,commodore), with a ford being the test vehicle. Ive attached the report to this post. Basically the list in order, judged by cornering in breaking in both the wet and dry are as below: BFGoodrich Sport T/A 74 80 50 95 80 H 167 Goodyear Excellence 73 75 60 85 75 V 215 GT Radial Champiro 228 73 75 65 85 70 V 180 Goodyear Assurance 72 75 50 90 80 V 191 Kumho Solus KH15 71 70 65 80 70 V 175 Kelly Ritmo HP (A) 66 70 50 80 70 H 145 Michelin Energy XM1+ 66 70 50 80 70 H 188 Firestone Firehawk TZ100 65 65 45 90 70 V 195 Maxxis Radial MA-651 65 65 50 80 70 H 130 Dunlop SP Sport 200E 64 65 50 80 65 V 173 The thing is every time i call up a tyre shop and ask for a "GT RADIAL" or a "BF GOODRICH" these guys tell me its a 2nd rate tyre manufacturer and that I should be getting a Yokohama or Pirelli or Bridgestone/Michelin (better brand/make quality etc). So basically its a choice between the Choice magazine guys and the tyre manufacturers. Are there any aurion drivers on this board running with gt radials or goodrichs? I wonder how they compare with the common recommendations such as Potenza and the Yokohama S drive? choice_tyre_test_australia_may_2009.pdf

Thats what she said When that button is off, both front and rears are off for me. The same deal for me, once pressing the parking sensor button to off, both front and rears ceased to work. I stand corrected. I just tried it in the garage and the park sensor button controls both front and rear. THANKS guys, ploblem solved!

Not sure how it is with the touring but in my zr6 there's a little button to turn the parking sensors on and off which is located on the right hand side of your steering wheel next to the your window power move from memory. thanks mate ill give it a try first thing tomorrow morning!

Hi guys, Got my aurion touring back in May 08. Only problem is after a few weeks the front and rear parking sensors stopped working..so no beeping, no osd showing how close i am etc... Dont know if i'd inadvertently turned it 'off' somehow or if its just a bug with the system that needs to be fixed by TOYOTA. Anyone know what I can try to fix the problem before i drive it back to the dealership? Many thanks,
