The above link goes to customer survey results of the P205/55R-16 tire size that is commonly used on many Corolla's. The survey evaluates 132 different tires for price, warranty, hydroplane resistance, wet traction, cornering stability, dry traction, steering response, light snow traction, deep snow traction, ice traction, ride comfort, noise comfort and treadwear. There are also comments from the consumers that have used a given type of tire, the results they experienced and their personal opinions. With some of the tires, TireRack.com also put them through their paces in various tests so the consumer can evaluate how the tires perform vs. other tires.
Before I promoted myself to being a full time independent AMSOIL synthetic lubricants Dealer and working for myself, :thumbup
as opposed to working for someone else making them rich from my hard work), :thumbdown: I was in the tire industry for over 20 years. In other words, I know tires. :thumbup1: If anyone here would like tips and advice regarding tires, please feel free to ask them here and I will do my best to help you out. I know what works, what doesn't, what brands I personally avoid and why, etc.
Selecting tires is a very important choice for you to make as they are the last thing between you and the road. In inclement weather conditions, or emergency situations like a deer running out in front of your car, etc., a good set of tires can make the difference between making it home in one piece or taking a trip to the hospital in the back of an ambulance, or worse, to the morgue. With tires, you don't purchase them for your car, you purchase them for you.
There is no one tire that can do it all. There is no one tire that is best. This is why there are so many choices available. What tire is best for you depends on your budget, how many miles per year you are driving, whether you drive in rainy or snowy conditions, or not, whether you drive fast, or not, whether a soft ride or low tire noise is important to you or not, etc., etc. There are many factors to consider in selecting a set of tires that will put a smile on your face instead of a frown.
Never purchase a tire based merely on price and always purchase the best tires you can possibly afford. Your very life can depend on it. If the stereo doesn't work, darn it. If the air conditioning fails, you're going to be perspiring. If the car doesn't start, that's a royal pain in the neck. But if a tire doesn't perform its job adequately, or worse, fails, again, you could end up being hurt or worse.
I hope this thread is of value to all the members of the Corolla Forum.:thumbup1:
