[tires]

Has anyone found a brand of tire that actually does NOT add to the "road noise" of the Camry???  I was told that it was the tires, and that not alot could be done about it.   After all this time, I pretty much ignore it, but, I do have to  turn up the volume of the radio/stereo. When I have to buy anther set of tires, it WOULD be nice if I could find a model of tire that does NOT ADD to the NOISE. 

[Jacks and jack stands]

The first time that I tried using the scissors jack that came with my 2005 Camry, the damn thing BENT on me!  I had to call  the auto club to co me change a flat tire,  After THAT, I did NOT screw around - i went out, and bought a floor jack sold by Sears ( I guess the you are out of luck now.)  They are NOT that heavy, and are well made (Just don't buy the CHINESIUM crap from  places like Harbor Freight).  I believe that the last time that I used it, I placed the jack at the location recommended in the owner's manual.  I did not have any problems.

     I was VERY ANGRY about the jack breaking on me. I took numerous photos, and emailed them with a note to Toyota ... and heard NOTHING back from them! (Thanks ALOT, Toyota) .   I like my car, and it has served me well for many years with few problems.  YES I still have the piece of CRAP jack! (And good thing too, I could not find the original photos).
