Falken WinterPeak F-Snow 1. It's one of the cheapest winter tires - about $80/tire in the 195/65R15 size - but test results show it competes well with the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5, Continental VikingContact 7, and Michelin X-Ice Snow, which are the gold standards in premium winter tires. It looks like the Falken suffers a little with dry handling, so just don't drive your Corolla like a sports car. The Falken is still competitive in the wet, snow, and ice, which is where it really matters.
Reviews of spare parts for Toyota
I had an 09 Cam which was used as a delivery vehicle for the first few years of its life, and had to replace the starter... used a Toyota reman, no issues for the next 12 years and 130k km.
I got a brand new Denso compressor, which is the supplier to Toyota and many other brands from [buyparts24.com](http://buyparts24.com) for AED945, also bought a receiver/dryer and expansion valve for AED200ish more. I would like to keep the car longterm and have proper working AC, as sitting in the traffic AC and radio are more important than brakes and tyres.........LOL
I used a Denso re-manufactured unit through Napa on a 2014 Camry a few years ago. Many short trips as it gotten 4 teenagers through high school. Still going strong.
I have been running 265/75/16's SL with 2 ply standard sidewall for the last 30k miles on a first gen tundra. I run them pretty hard on and off road, including airing down. I haven't had any issues and am hard pressed getting a much heavier tire since these have performed so well
My '21 brakes started shaking around 20K miles as well. I installed Dynamic Friction coated rotors and ceramic pads from Rockauto. They have lasted longer than the stock OEM brakes with similar performance.
We had the first instance of warped rotors at 15k and the dealer resurfaced them under warranty. Then at 25k it sounded like a NYC subway train pulling into the station at slow stops. Returned to the dealer to be told that they wouldn't work on the brakes again without us replacing the pads and rotors on our dime. I believe the rotors were getting glazed. Decided to go with the PowerStop drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads, replaced them at home and we've been very happy for another 10k. Improved brake performance and as quiet as can be.
The Bilstein 6112 shocks I installed up front were slightly stiff, which I attribute to their valving.
I used an Optima, never again.
I put a set of my Camry and they are by far the loudest tires I've ever had. I'm strongly considering replacing them. They also get rotated every oil change and it doesn't seem to help.
