I'm having some trouble getting replacement tyres for my 1996 four-cylinder Camry. It is currently fitted with 195/70 R14, but a tyre retailer told me those tyres made it un-roadworthy as the placard specifies 185/75 R14. He also told me that both sizes were difficult to source, as they're both 'dead' sizes that no one stocks anymore. I've also looked at fitting 15-inch Toyota alloy wheels, which I thought would allow me to fit 195/65 R15 tyres as used on the current Corolla, Golf, i30 etc. Another retailer told me that I should fit 205/65 R15 tyres as specified for the V6 Camry. What would you recommend?
Contrary to what you’ve been told the 195/70 R14 is readily available and is perfectly roadworthy for your car, falling well within the requirements for load rating and rolling radius. There are a number of brands available, but the Michelin is one of the better ones.
