What is the tire model specification for the Camry?
2 Answers
The tire model specification for the Camry is 215/60/R16. The specific details are as follows: Tire replacement: Tires mounted on the same axle must use the same specification, tread pattern, and brand of tire. Cleaning tires: If the tire temperature is high, do not clean it immediately. Wait for it to cool naturally before cleaning. If the tire is stained with difficult-to-remove tar and general cleaners cannot remove the stain, you can first try using a brush to clean it. However, avoid using overly hard brushes, especially wire brushes, as they can easily damage the wheel hub surface. Precautions for tire use: Before driving on highways or long trips, check the tire wear and tire pressure, especially in summer. If any abnormalities are found in the tires, take effective measures promptly. Also, regularly remove debris lodged in the tire tread grooves and between dual tires to prevent sharp objects from damaging the tires, which could lead to air leaks or even blowouts.
Last time I changed tires, I specifically researched the Camry's tire specifications. Common models like the 2.0G use 215/55 R17, the sporty 2.5S comes with 235/45 R18, and some hybrid versions use 215/60 R16. My 2019 model has 17-inch tires with a 55 sidewall ratio, which provides a comfortable ride over speed bumps. Always check the original factory markings on the tire sidewall—last year, my neighbor opted for cheaper 205 tires and almost had an accident due to skidding in the rain. There are significant differences between model years; for example, the 2007 model used 205/65 R15, while newer models now favor wider tires. It's crucial to consult the vehicle manual or the sticker on the driver's side B-pillar, and when switching to winter tires, it's best to stick to the original specifications.
