2005 Camry SE - New tire time - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

cor · 10-15-2007, 10:18 AM

My 05 camry se 4cyl is needing some new tires pretty soon as the car is just over 30,000 miles and winter is near.

The OEM tire size is 215/60/16 and I have been doing a little shopping.

Who has replaced their tires on these wheels before? Has anyone tried a 225/50/15 instead???

are you sure they aren't 16s? they look like the same rims i have and mine are 16. i have Bridgestone Potenza 225/55/16 on mine.

Oh no my bad, Yes they are 16's and not 15's!

i like the tires i mentioned above, good handling, in dry and wet weather. I've never used them in the winter so i can't tell you how they'll be in the winter. I've only had my car a year and a few months, but i did buy winter tires and rims last year so i've never needed to try the Potenza's in the snow.

What version of the Potenza's do you have?

***Punks_Not_Dead5*** · 10-15-2007, 11:43 AM

Bridgestone Potenza G 009 225/55/R16

for all seasons with good performance i reccomend bridgestone potenza RE92's or yokohama avid V4s....
i have the yokohama avid V4s on my 03 SE and i love them....good handling and good al weather traction

I'm thinking the tires you guys have suggested might be a bit high on the performance side and thus not work very well in the snow.

i drive my car in the snow on my avids and theyre great
hence all season

***Punks_Not_Dead5*** · 10-15-2007, 01:12 PM

I'd go with Cor's opinions on the tires. I've never driven my Camry in the snow other than with Michelin X-Ice snow tires. But my Potenza's are great in the summer and wet conditions.

Awesome, thanks for the link to your pics.

I really like the look that they are a bit wider and stick out a bit compared to the rim. I was thinking of going with a 225 but if the 215 does look like that for the vs4 I'll go OEM!
