Impact of Larger Tires:

Ground Clearance Increase: Installing slightly larger-profile tires can increase the ground clearance by around 5-10 mm, depending on the size. This can help reduce scraping on higher speed breakers and rough roads.

Best Tire Sizes for the Camry:

Consider upgrading to 215/65 R16 o r 225/60 R16 tires, which can slightly increase the clearance without causing significant issues with handling, fuel efficiency, o r performance.

Drawbacks of Larger Tires:

Fuel Economy: Larger tires can slightly reduce fuel efficiency due to increased rolling resistance.
Handling Issues: Larger tires can affect the handling and steering response, especially at high speeds o r sharp turns.
