What size/brand tires on your Camry?

[Type699]

What size and brand of tires are you running on your Camry?? I currently have the stock 14" steel rims with 195/60 r 14 tires on them on my 1993 Camry LE. Goodyear Weatherhandlers, and I hate them.

They are a very hard tire, and pretty old, so it's time for something new before the snow starts here in Michigan. It's pretty scary trying to stop quickly, this is my first small car without anti-lock brakes.

What tires work good in the winter? Although it doesn't snow too much here , I still like to be prepared for it.

I should probably get some snow/ice tires to use only in the winter. I have had them in the past, but they seem to wear out very quickly, because it's mostly dry pavement here in the winter anyways.

What's the widest tire I could fit on the stock rims without any rubbing?

I don't see the point in going with a bigger rim, it only makes the car ride rougher, and the tires cost more.. (I have 18" rims on my Camaro...)

i suggest going or having a spare set of winter tires.

i would go with goodyear regatta 2 or the new goodyears. they are reliable tires that has 60k warranty.

if you have the $$, michellin are good tires but softer.

for a cheaper tire, check out.. yokohama.

i would not go wider with the stock rims.. u might be able to fit 205 in those rims but i would not suggest it.

you could fit a 205 on there if ya wanted to, it will give ya a little better traction and all but alot depends on the tire and sidewall, but you prolly know that. i went from rain tires to kumho ecsta supras which are summer rotational tires and the car handles much better, but they suck in the snow and r not the best in the rain.

On both my generation 3 and generation 4 Camry 4 cylinder cars, I use the Dunlop Sport A'2s. They are an "H" speed rated tire which is what was standard on the car when it was new, and are pretty decent in the snow, for an "H" speed rated tire. Remember, they still will not be as good as a set of snow tires which are made of a softer rubber and have a deeper tread pattern designed specifically for the snow, when it does snow. They are just a good compromise INHO. The size is P195-70 R14.

I just ordered a set of Falken Ziex ze512 for my camry 195/65-14. I had them on my Malibu and I loved them, so I'm trying them on the Camry now as well. Can't beat $37/tire. I've read alot of mixed reviews on them.. IMO they are nice for the $$.

I've got 205/50/15 kumho ecsta asx on my 00 LE V6. Good price for a high performance all-season tire.

i got 205/65/15 Toyo Spectrum Touring Radials.... good tire for the money

[Peacemaker]

I've got Kumho Ecsta Supra 205/55/16 ultra performance, cheaper than any... look great!

Bridgestone Potenzas on my Gen2, 205/50 16's and they're gettin to race depth

[nort0188]

215/60/15 Kumho Solus 716

[coolchu001]

Falken ZIEX 512 225/45/ZR17 All season traction!! good enough for Cleveland winters!!

[terrastrife]

215/60R15 on the stock steelies. neturel handling over teh limit (as in she dont understeer), higher grip then even bridgestone potensa re01's but wiht oen weak point -- week sidewals, so its a little squirmy.

EDIT: FUCK! Nankang TourSport 611 here lol

I have a set of Toyo Proxies TPT 215-60-15 on my car. They cost $140+ US each to replace, not looking forward to having to do so. Owch!!!!!!

[Aussie Ed]

on my stock steelies i have 205/65/15 bfgoodrich sport ta, they were good, nice and quiet, handled well in the wet and in the dry. they didn't squeel much when taken hard.

currently, on my gen 5 camry sportivo rims i have 215/60/16 continental eco-contacts. they are very good in terms of being a passenger car tyre, they handle very well in both wet and dry conditions. they sqeel quiet a bit when taken hard.
