Is the Camry spare tire full-size?
2 Answers
Camry spare tire is not full-size, but non-full-size, with the size of T155/70d17. Camry is a mid-size car, its body size is: length 4885mm, width 1840mm, height 1455mm, wheelbase is 2825mm, fuel tank capacity is 60l, trunk capacity is 593l. Camry is equipped with a 2.0l naturally aspirated engine, the maximum power is 131kw, the maximum power speed is 6600rpm per minute, the maximum torque is 210nm, the maximum torque speed is 4400 to 5200rpm per minute, matched with a 10-speed continuously variable transmission.
I specialize in Toyota models and am particularly familiar with the spare tire situation of the Camry. The current eighth-generation Camry gasoline version comes with a full-size spare tire, but the rim is made of steel, different from the aluminum alloy wheels on the car. The hybrid version is different; because the battery occupies the lower space of the trunk, it is equipped with a non-full-size T-type spare tire, which is much smaller and limited to 80 km/h. Last year, while helping a friend inspect a used car, I found that the spare tire in his hybrid luxury version was only two-thirds the size of a regular tire when lifting the trunk mat. This small spare tire is okay for temporary use, but for long-term high-speed driving, it's safer to replace it with a normal tire as soon as possible.
