Keep in mind that exact sizing can vary by country or production year, so always confirm with the vehicle’s official specifications for your specific car.
How to confirm your exact size
To verify the correct tire size for your particular Camry, check these sources:
- Driver-side door jamb placard showing the recommended tire size and inflation pressure
- Owner’s manual, which lists the original equipment tire size and load rating
- Front or rear tire sidewall, which displays the tire size currently installed on the vehicle
If you’re replacing tires, aim to match the overall diameter closely to preserve speedometer accuracy and suspension performance; consult a tire professional if you’re considering sizes outside the stock range.
Tire options beyond stock sizes
Upgrading to different sizes requires attention to clearance, handling, and gearing. Common considerations include:
- Sticking close to stock overall diameter on 15-inch wheels, e.g., 195/65R15 or 205/65R15
- Avoiding significantly larger widths that could rub on fenders or suspension components
Always verify aftermarket choices with a professional and ensure the tire’s load index and speed rating meet or exceed the OEM specifications.

To be certain, check the door jamb placard or the owner's manual for your exact model, and consider alignment with the original overall diameter when selecting replacements.
