Why are we forced to use high speed rated tires on a Aerio
« on: December 30, 2005, 08:52:50 AM »
 Though my car has 13000 miles on it and bald back tires because alignment
problem from the factory I found out these tires are the soft high speed type.
 And using a 4 cynlinder I can see where someone might think were in the BMW
class of car where $100.00 or more is the standerd price for 195 55 15 tires
 Not
Any way I wanted to know if any one tried a 195 60 15 tire on this car?
Easer to get and a whole lot cheaper for the economy car this was supposed to
be.
Never another Suzuki for me too high price to operate.

 ???

In 2002 my wife and I purchased a new Toyota Camry XLE.   it has the standard 4 cyl and all the safety features you would expect from Toyota.  We had the same problem as you had with your aerio.  turns out the car goes out of alignment very easily and ruins the tires just as fast.  When it came time to buy new tires we found out that the slightly heavier frame and performance package that came with the luxury edition meant that it could only have v rated or higher tires.  It has something to do with the stronger sidewalls, and we couldn't find any tire dealers that would put anything less on it.   We have purchased the lifetime alignment package from Firestone so my wife takes it in every month or so to make sure that we get the most use out of our tires, they aren't cheap and only have about a 40k mileage warranty on them.

Tire Rack .com is your friend, search by size, you'll be suprised
Also 1010 Tires, under their tech section, you can compare different tire sizes
Still standin'
