What tires does the Camry use?
2 Answers
The Camry uses three specifications of tires: 205/65R16, 215/55R17, and 235/45R18. Among these, 205/65R16 means the tire's cross-sectional width is 205mm, the aspect ratio is 65%, R indicates a radial tire structure, and 16 refers to a rim diameter of 16 inches. The Camry is a mid-size car launched by GAC Toyota, with dimensions of 4885mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1455mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2825mm. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 131kw and a maximum torque of 210nm, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission (simulating 10 gears) or an 8-speed automatic manual transmission.
I've been driving my Camry for almost five years now, and it came with Bridgestone Turanza 215/55R17 tires from the factory. They provide excellent stability and reliable wet traction. These tires are quiet, making my wife and kids comfortable during rides. If you drive frequently, covering around 10,000 kilometers a year, pay attention to tire pressure and wear, especially the sidewalls which are prone to damage. Last time I switched to Michelin Primacy tires in the same size—better grip, though a bit more expensive. But if you often drive on highways, safety comes first. During regular maintenance, have the mechanic check tire balance to extend lifespan and prevent unexpected blowouts. Always check the manufacturing date before buying new tires to avoid old stock.
