The ninth-generation Camry arrived for 2025 and went hybrid across the lineup (every 2025 trim Mavis lists is a Camry Hybrid). What hasn't changed: tires are the wear item you'll buy most, and the size on your trim makes a big difference to the bill.
Tire sizes by trim (2025+ Camry)
| Trim | Factory tire size |
|---|---|
| LE, AWD LE | 205/65R16 |
| SE, AWD SE | 235/45R18 |
| XLE, AWD XLE | 235/45R18 |
| XSE, AWD XSE | 235/40R19 |
Your exact size is on the tire sidewall and the driver's door jamb label. NHTSA says that label is also where you'll find the correct inflation pressure.
What tires cost (per tire, before install)
| Size and trim | Budget | Mid-range | Premium | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 205/65R16 (2025 LE) | about $69-$95 | Mavis Touring A/S 2 about $97-$135, Goodyear Assurance All Season about $148-$160 | Michelin Defender 2 about $190-$202 | Mavis |
| 235/45R18 (2025 SE, XLE) | about $101-$127 | Mavis Touring A/S 2 about $142-$180, Goodyear Assurance Comfort Drive about $184-$196 | Michelin Defender 2 CUV about $225-$237 | Mavis |
That puts a full set on an LE at roughly $276 to $808, and on an SE or XLE at roughly $404 to $948, before mounting, balancing, disposal and tax. The 19-inch XSE size wasn't priced on the page we checked, but low-profile 19s generally cost more than the 18s.
Other tire service costs
| Service | Model years | Cost | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wheel alignment | 2022-2026 Camry | $159 to $233 | RepairPal |
Alignment isn't something you buy every oil change. Get one when you install new tires, after a hard pothole or curb hit, or when the car pulls or the steering wheel sits crooked.
Why low-profile tires on the SE, XLE and XSE take more abuse
Shorter sidewalls look great and steer sharp, but there's less rubber between a pothole and the wheel. That means more risk of sidewall bubbles and bent rims, and those can't be repaired. If you live somewhere with rough roads, a road hazard plan is worth a look on 18s and 19s.
Repair or replace?
- Nail or screw in the center tread: usually a patch-plug repair from the inside.
- Damage near the shoulder or in the sidewall: replace.
- Bulge or bubble: replace immediately.
- Tread at 2/32 inch: NHTSA's replacement line. If Lincoln's whole head shows in the penny test, you're there.
- Tires 6 to 10 years old: NHTSA notes some makers recommend replacing by age, even with tread left.
Easy ways to stretch tire life
- Check pressure monthly, cold, with a real gauge.
- Rotate every 5,000 to 8,000 miles if Toyota recommends it (NHTSA's general guidance), or sooner if you see uneven wear.
- Watch the TPMS light. NHTSA says it means at least one tire is significantly underinflated.
- Replace in pairs or sets so the car handles evenly, especially on AWD trims.
What to ask the tire shop
- "What's the out-the-door price for four, with mounting, balancing, valve stems and disposal?"
- "Does this tire meet the load and speed rating on my door label?"
- "Are rotations and flat repairs included?"
- "Do I need an alignment, and can I see the before and after readings?"
Is it worth it?
Always. Tires are the only thing touching the road. On an LE, a quality set is cheap. On an XSE, shop around, compare treadwear warranties, and don't skip the alignment.
