Which tyres for My Camry hybrid 2015 / Best tyres for Camry Hybrid 2016/ Michelin LC vs Turanza ER 33

The Toyota Camry Hybrid  assembled in Malaysia and Australia comes with Turanza ER 33 from Bridgestone which is the world's largest tyre manufacturer. In the United States , they use Michelin tyres probably because the tyres are made there. The Turanza ER 33  tyres are quite good in dry traction and used in fully built up Lexus 300H , LS 430, and the Infinity , Nissan's luxury arm. The Turanza is considered a 'grand touring summer tyre' and pretty good in wet conditions too. I used the tyre for my 2009 Honda Civic and suits the car well.One drawback of the tyre is the treadlife is quite poor meaning it does not last very long because of the quite aggressive tyre patterns. The thread life however  also depends on how you drive. A frequent spinning of tyres will definite shorten the life of the tyres. The tyre is also known to be quite noisy.

Another option that you can consider is the Michelin LC. It's among the quietest tyre available on the market. The rolling resistance is 13 % lower than the average tyre and this translates into good fuel consumption. Quiet ride and Hybrid make a good marriage. In Malaysia, some owners of continental cars like BMW and Mercedes Benzes use the LC. 

Michelin Primacy LC

If the LC is slightly more expensive to your liking , you can opt for the XM 2 energy. It has 8 % less rolling resistance but not as quiet as the LC. One good thing about XM 2 is that it lasts longer- up to 20% longer. XM 2 is commonly used for mid size car such as the Preve or Civic.

Michelin ST

The most expensive is the Michelin ST. It's also reasonably quiet but not as quiet as the LC. But quieter than the XM and lasts 25 % longer than the LC. Rolling resistance is 8 % lower which means you save quite a lot on fuel.

If you ask me which tyre I would go for. I would say I would go for Michelin LC. Most likely, I would get those for my tyre replacement. I think the Bridgestone Turanza is a tad noisier albeit having good handling . That's my two cents worth...
