   I definitely wasn't going to buy what was on the car. Toyota used LRR   
   tires to get the mileage up. I don't have a problem with that except they   
   were worn out in a little over 20,000 miles which I consider unacceptable   
   on a 2300 pound car. The current one came with Goodyear Assurance tires so   
   I'll see how that goes. The CS5s had good reviews both for tread life and   
   traction.   
      
   I'm used to tire buying. When you ride bikes that get 8,000 miles on the   
   rear if you're lucky you get to try a lot of different tires. With a dual   
   sport in particular you're always looking for that ideal balance of on and   
   off road performance.
