Pirellis are the best tires for my 98 camry. Through the years, I've bought Goodyear, Bridgestone, and Michelin tires for my black beauty. Pirellis are by far the quietest and nicest riding tires I've ever had on the car.
Reviews of spare parts for Toyota
The best option is the Kumho Ecsta PA31. That's what I run in the cool months.
I just had everything you mentioned done on my 2017 Camry. I paid about 900 but the alternator was denso which makes oem parts for Toyota.
I went the 5160/6112 route and love them. Coming from stock suspension for the first 50k it was amazing offroad but really helped with the on-road nosedive and with upgrade springs in the rear helped tremendously with the sag from my rtt trailer.
My 25 year old Camry requires 5W-30 and I use Castrol Edge. I also put 1 litre of Castrol GTX 15W-40 oil into the mix - it's supposed to have anti sludge properties and also lowers the overall cost.
From my experience with a Toyota echo; does not matter the brand, only the type. My echo was a 10w40 semi synthetic. once she started consuming a little more oil, I was then just filling her up with any 10w40 semi synthetic I could afford. There was no difference of her running on Castrol vrs the mixed bag of what it ended up with, as I always put Castrol as my oil of choice for a complete change.
I would consider Cooper a mid range tire. They’re not cheap but they’re not premium. I have a 2007 Tacoma and it’s got 300,000 miles on it so I’ve ran many sets of tires. Just recently put the Cooper Discover A3 on my truck and they are great in the snow.
According to Toyota themselves It’s caused by inadequate caulking on the head gasket itself. There is a revised part number head gasket that has better longevity but in order to solve the problem entirely the engine would have to be redesigned.
Junk tires, falken tires may be good on pavement but once you go off road, complete failure. I got two flat tires going down graded dirt roads on my TRD Sequoia
2nd Gen not 5th but I replaced the ancient tires on my 4runner with wildpeaks and had them on for a few years. Hated them. Hated driving curves in the rain on pavement. Roundabouts would lose traction even in summer and as you know, these are NOT cars with a fast takeoff. They were quiet, I'll give them that.
