- TOYOTA 4 RUNNER (KZN18_, VZN18_, RZN18_) 2.7 4WD (RZN185_)@Jessica_L29.05.2025 14:38@Walter SimpsonAUTODOC expertReviews of Arrowspeed vary. Some users note them as a budget option with acceptable noise levels. However, in tests, they showed poorer grip on wet roads compared to Michelin and Goodyear.
You should keep in mind that Michelin and Goodyear are generally considered premium brands with better performance in various conditions, including rain, and often have a longer lifespan, although they are more expensive.
If your priority is safety in wet weather and durability, Michelin or Goodyear would be the best choice, despite the higher price. Arrowspeed may be suitable if your budget is very limited and you are prepared for potentially poorer performance on wet roads. - @simon_lewis_519.06.2025 06:18MemberArrowspeed tyres are generally considered budget options and don’t have many detailed user reviews specifically for the 2012 Toyota Camry. From available discussions, they are often compared unfavorably to better-known brands, with some users recommending alternatives like Falken if you want budget tyres with better reputations.
Performance on Rainy Roads
There is limited direct feedback on Arrowspeed tyres’ wet traction, but budget tyres often have less advanced tread compounds and designs compared to premium brands, which can result in reduced grip and longer braking distances in rain. This could be a concern if you frequently drive in wet UK conditions.
Road Noise and Ride Comfort
Budget tyres like Arrowspeed tend to produce more road noise and a firmer ride compared to premium tyres. Owners of 2012 Camrys have noted that tyre choice significantly affects ride smoothness and noise levels. Premium touring tyres (e.g., Michelin, Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack) are known for quieter, more comfortable rides.
Tread Life
Arrowspeed tyres typically don’t come with the long treadwear warranties that premium brands offer. For example, Michelin and Bridgestone often provide warranties of 60,000 to 80,000 miles, reflecting better durability and compound technology. Budget tyres may wear faster, leading to more frequent replacements.
Comparison to Michelin or Goodyear
Michelin: Known for excellent wet traction, low road noise, and long tread life. Models like Michelin CrossClimate 2 are highly rated for all-weather performance on Camrys.
Goodyear: Also offers reliable wet grip and comfortable rides, with good tread life and safety features.
Arrowspeed tyres are a budget choice and may be acceptable if cost is the primary concern.
For better wet performance, quieter ride, and longer tread life, premium brands like Michelin or Goodyear are recommended.
If you drive often in rainy conditions and value comfort and safety, investing in a higher-quality tyre will pay off. - @simon_lewis_519.06.2025 06:19MemberIf you want a balance between cost and quality, consider mid-tier brands like Falken, which have better reviews than Arrowspeed but are more affordable than Michelin or Goodyear.
Has anyone tried Arrowspeed tyres on their 2012 Toyota Camry? I’m curious about their performance, especially in rainy conditions. How’s the road noise and tread life? Would you recommend them over brands like Michelin or Goodyear?
