I'm trying to choose the new tires for my 02 Cmary LE. Can anyone reccomend any good tires for it? I'm in florida so i don't really need winter or all season ones, just 4 summer would be fine. The reason i'm changine them is because they are way too noisy and at 100mph the whole car vibrates a lot and it's scary to drive, also they are worn already, i believe the speed limit for them is 100mph max. So the main criteria for new tires would be low noise and comfortably driving at > 90mph. Another question is should i just be looking for 205/65/r15 or 215/65/r15 will also fit, and if they do fit are there are any advantages over 205?
The ones i found on tirerack are 205/65HR15 Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position Blackwall. Are these good?

thanks for any help!

215 will fit. The advantage is wider contact patch.

As far as what's good, I just look at the scores and reviews by people who used them.

what are you driving your camry at daytona superspeedway?

Noise is a given with any tire at 100MPH. If your tires are limit 100, you bought the wrong tires. You need H rated or higher.

As for 215mm over 205mm, the contact patch increases in width but decreases in length. Better for cornering with the wider tire, but you probably should lower the profile if you do this because the sidewall will increase slightly going to 215mm. Your gas mileage will go down slightly also.
