BTW, this topic will be moved by the hosts in short order.
Just make sure you stay with the same size tires. Unless you drive like a bat out of hell, you'll likely notice absolutely no difference in handling.

i can get some steel 16" rims for the winter, same bolt pattern as 07 camry, but one is rwd, camry is front wheel drive, will offset by that bad?

Insert the penny into the tread with Lincoln's head pointed downward. Do this at several places around each tire. If you can see the top of Abe's head, the tire should be replaced.
I would recommend going to a different Toyota dealer, because any Toyota dealer can do warranty work.
If that gets you nowhere, call Corporate Toyota's customer service and open a case with them. See what a case manager recommends.
They are inexpensive and have everything. I've got several things from them.
But 32 isn't going to hurt at all, and personally I inflate the tires on my '04 and '05 Camrys up to 35 psi.
I wanted to down size so I bought off e-bay used original 17" Toyota alloys that came off of a Toyota Camry Solara. The tires are P215/55R17 93V Toyo Proxes J33.
I tried switching them but the mechanic said they didn't fit.
The original tires off my Camry were P215/60R16.
Could it be when the 1st owner put the 20s on he changed the tire mountings?
I was thinking just to change the tire mountings to fit the tires I bought off E-bay. Should I go to Toyota to do this? How much should putting new mountings and switching the tires cost me? Any advice is appriciated. Thank you.
Good luck!
I had a puntured tire ( nail). Do I have to change all 4 tires now? two ?
I have 25k on my odometer
Thanks
Alternatively just go to any 'real' gas station (one with a mechanic and bay) or autotire store, and they should be able to do it at nominal cost.
Thanks
Do I need to maintain it or i can go to a lower speed rating
I hardly go beyond 80 mph why should I install a tire with 150mph tires??
You can repair a nail hole, if it is in the tread area. You can not repair a 1" tear, nor can you repair a sidewall.
So you need to replace the tire.
I have an 07 LE V-6 Camry. The tires OEM are Turanza EL-II Hs. They are HORRIBLE. I have a tick under 13K on them and they have less than a pinky nails left of tread. The treadwear is a 250 or 260, thats not acceptable for a $25K car.
Plus the thing rides like my dads ole 75 Buick. Will getting real tires i.e. Triple Treads or Eagle F1 all seaons made it ride a little stiffer-tighter or is there any things I can do to complain about the lack of distance on these?

This past Saturday, I had wheels and tires put on at America Tire.

and Goodyear ResponsEdge 235-50-17.

So far, they have been back twice for rebalancing and on the last visit, they put hub rings on.
It's still vibrating and shaking at speeds above 65 mph. American Tire is telling me that even though 235-50-17 is an approve fitment, it's too big for my Camry and I should downsize to a 215. Is this guy blowing smoke up my !@#$% or correct?
I've seen people with 245-45-18's on their cars without any problems which has me scratching my head on my slight upgrade.
If you really wanted 17-inch wheels, you could have gotten the SE model instead.
I wonder if the stiff sidewall on the ResponsEdges are part of the problem? Supposedly they have carbon fiber sidewall to firm up the sides. I am considering changing to Yokohama YK520 225-50-17 tires which has traditional sidewalls. Additionally, I may try another style wheel. The one's I got were store demos and just maybe one or two are bent.
What do you guys think? I'm going in tomorrow to work this out with the store.

I have recently got 4 x all season Michelin Primacy MXV4 installed on my 2004 Camry LE 4 cyl. AT. The size of the tires is original and I keep about 32 PSI pressure in the tires. Everything was smooth until yesterday when we got our first serious snow storm in Toronto. The temperature was about -8 C, couple centimeters of snow on the road, when I noticed strong noise and steering wheel vibration during turns. All the turns were done with the speed under 20 km/h. Vibration/noise were constant when I was moving 10-20 km/h with the steering wheel even slightly turned. I tried turning steering wheel in both directions while standing still on the parking lot covered with the snow, the same vibration and noise were still present, but only when tire was actually moving against snow. On the same day I also could hear scraping sound from the rear wheels when braking - it didn't sound like ABS, because it was much more "distant" and break pedal didn't vibrate. All the fluids where on normal levels. Once I've reached my underground parking, the vibration/noise during turns and scraping sound during breaking were gone. So, it seems that both were produced by tires movement against snow. There were neither vibration nor noise when car was moving straight on snow.
Did anybody experience similar tire behaviour? Or could it be mechanical problem and nothing to do with tires?
Any information is highly appreciated.
FYI, from the Toyota website "SE available with All-Season tires as a no-cost option."
If you want longer tread life, you'll have to go an all-season tire. I would not change the tire size -- it will throw off your speedometer and odometer.
Paid $101 each plus stuff at Sams.
Thanks to this board, my Camry is much quieter now - and I did not have to buy a new Avalon to get there.
