What tires are used on the Camry?

Camry uses three types of tires: Bridgestone, Yokohama, and Dunlop. As an important component of the vehicle, the main factors to consider for tire performance are tire pressure. Both underinflation and overinflation can affect the tire's performance and reduce its lifespan, ultimately impacting driving safety. More details about the Camry are as follows: 1. The Camry is a mid-to-high-end sedan under GAC Toyota. Its body dimensions are 4900mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1455mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2825mm. 2. In terms of appearance, the Camry sport version features a three-layer grille front face, introduces a dual-tone body and all-black cabin design for the first time, and adopts a dual-sided four-exhaust pipe design at the rear.
I've been driving my Camry for almost five years and have replaced the tires twice. The original tires were Bridgestone Turanza T005A, which had decent grip but were quite noisy. Later, I switched to Michelin Primacy 4, and the difference in noise reduction was like night and day—they also don't slip in the rain. If you mainly drive in the city, Dunlop's energy-saving tires are sufficient and a few hundred bucks cheaper. Remember to check the numbers on the tire, like 215/55R17, to avoid buying the wrong size—I almost bought 18-inch tires once. The maintenance shop technician was right: you must replace them after five years or 60,000 kilometers, or a sudden blowout on the highway would be terrifying. Also, friends in Northeast China should keep a set of winter tires handy, as regular tires tend to slip in winter.
Last time I went to the 4S shop for maintenance, the technician talked about this topic while measuring my tire tread with calipers. The original tires of Camry vary depending on different batches. The luxury version usually comes with Bridgestone, while the sport version uses Yokohama. If you want to replace the tires yourself, you need to pay attention to three key points: the parameters on the tire sidewall, 215/55R17, must not be wrong; the speed rating should be at least V; the load index should be above 91. For those who commute a lot, Michelin energy-saving tires are recommended, as they save fuel and are quiet; for those who often drive on highways, Goodyear EfficientGrip is recommended, as it shortens the wet braking distance by more than two meters. Rear-wheel-drive models should pay special attention to front tire wear, and the tires should be rotated every 20,000 kilometers. It's best to do a four-wheel alignment before winter each year, otherwise, uneven tire wear can be costly.
