Toyota Camry V6 Tire size

Actually, I again have a problem in my Toyota camry. There are two issues in my toyota camry right now.

1. I checked the check engine light and diagnosed it and found the code 0136. I went to forums and found out that this code arises due to leak in flex pipe or exhaust. Is that true? Where I can get cheap flex pipe for my v6 engine?

2. I also have a doubt in my tire size. Actually the tire size online was indication 205/ 65 hr 15 for toyota camry v6 but in my car the tire is 195. Does that affect the driving conditions or sth like that. I am thinking of keeping used winter tire so can I keep 205 mm tires?

Thank you all for helping me out!

1. 0136 - Heated Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction.

Buy a new O2 Sensor

2. Are you using OEM wheels ? If so, then get a OEM size tyre. Wider = better usually. What wheels do you use for winter tyres ? OEM size wheels ? I dunno what width OEM size wheels are so I can't tell you if 195 is safe to fit on there.

205/65/15 tires are OEM standard on 15'' (6'' wide) alloy wheels on Solaras.
205/65/15 tires are usually safe to mount on rims width between 5.5''-7.5'' (best in middle of range)

you can fix the flex pipe at any local "muffler workshop", around here it costs about $140 to have the old piece cut out and new piece welded in.

you need the new heated o2 sensor, the fault is not with sensor reading range, it's the heater circuit at fault, usually the sensor itself is bad when that code is present. replace it with Denso unit (OE style for easy plug and play application), check your part number here and then shop for it on ebay or amazon:

the stock tire size was 205/65R/15 for all third gen V6 powered Camry's. i 195 series will be a little thinner but will work. you will have slightly less cornering power however.

Sounds like a shop wanted to clear its inventory.

OP can verify by checking the sticker on the door frame. It should specify the tire sizes and pressures. The info should also be in the manual.

There are tuners who change aspect ratios, but I'd just stick to stock.
