What are the OEM tires? 2014 Toyota Corolla.
I'm looking to buy a used 2014 Toyota Corolla LE. My question is what is the OEM tires (manufacturer, load index, speeding rating). I have seen pics of used cars and believe it or not almost all have different brands (Goodyear, Michellin, Hankook).
From what I gathered, it appears the size is P205/55R16. I think the OEM tires are Goodyear RSA but cannot find anywhere.
I know I do not need to use the same tires but am curious as to what the standard OEM tires are.

In other words, you can't replace them with the exact same tire.
They are 100% unique to the vehicle. Even though another vehicle has the same size/make/model, the tire will be designed to the vehicle manufacturer's specs - always!
Further, you can buy the same exact tire at the tire shop IF you get the same size/make/model tire - with a couple of exceptions. Those exceptions are that SOME (but very few) tire manufacturers produce a different tire for sale at the tire dealership (and I want to emphasize that this is a rare exception!)
- AND -
After the contract with the OEM is fulfilled (end of model year), it is normal for the tire to revert to replacement market specs. In both those case, the tire available at the tire dealership would be different, even though it uses the same name.
