great site really usefull ,
a point worth mentioning that the use of bigger diameter wheels puts more strain on the brakes and drive shafts due to leverage

I drive a 2001 Camry. The old installed tire size is BL 215/60R15 @ 200.75cm. I went to a different Firestone tire stoe and was told that BL P205/65R15 92H is better which measures 196.98cm. I searched on this great website you have and i found out the new recommendation is a bit smaller than the old ones I still have, for the same price w/50k miles warranty. basing on your info of acceleration, speedometer readings, etc, which will be a better choice and safer? Also, is it safe with the same reems? Pls advice. Thanks much and stay safe.

It would really depend on the width of the new 17″ rim as the width of the rim determines the section width of the tyre. Once you know the width of the rim add 1 inch, convert it to millimeters and you’ll have a rough idea of the tyre section you’ll need.
