for my son's Camry sedan.

Was looking at Continental, but they are little out of the budget.

Opinions on other brands are welcome too.

Not a huge fan.

The discount tire Arizonian Silver Edition are fantastic tires for the money.

I referred to them as "Pop-relli" tires when I had them on my GTI. Very prone to sidewall issues when hitting pot holes in Dallas.

I put some General brand tires on my wife's Toyota a few months ago and we couldn't be happier.

I've had them for almost 30K trouble free miles on my car. They look to last 50 or more. They dropped the road noise significantly. Don't understand the dislike as i may not buy any other brand for cars based on this set.

I've had a set of P-Zero Neros and they performed well. No issues to speak of.

I rely on Tirerack.com for tire reviews, just a much bigger sampling size of reviews then you'll get on here or even the Discount Tire website.

Tried them a few times and always regretted it.

We put a set on the QX80 and it lowered the gas mileage and they lasted about 10k fewer miles than the Bridgestone Duelers that were OEM. Went back to OEM and mileage went back up 1 mpg. (15 to 16, so 7%)
