What were the factory tires on a 2000 SLE?

What were the factory tires on a 2000 SLE?

Postby fotodad » Mon Nov 03, 2003 4:30 pm

Before I bought my 2004 SLE V6 Solara I had a 2000 SLE V6. I loved the 2000. One of the things I liked most about it was its ability to get me through any amount of snow! I've heard bad reviews on the Bridgestone Turanza tires on my 04 regarding snow traction. So I'm thinking of getting a new set of all-season high performance tires. Since I liked the 2000's factory tires, I may consider getting a set of those. But I can't remember what they were. Can anyone help me out?

I've heard good things about the Michelin Pilot A/S tire, but they're almost $700.00 installed!

I know my 02 had Bridgestone Potenza RE92s stock. I replaced those with the RE950s which I am much more pleased with.

Same here with the BBS/TRD rims. 950's are all-season high performance, though it doesn't snow here in San Francisco. Bit louder than the 92's though.

My 99 SE V6 had Potenza RE92's which were not that great in bad weather and made loud squeals on tight turns while wearing out quickly. SO far the Turanza's on the '04 are almost totally quiet in fast turns, stick better, and no problem in rain so far. I think I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and see how they do in the snow. You have to read tire reviews carefully as almost every tire except the Michelin Pilot A/S ones have BOTH good and bad reviews. Not much consistency.
