Gonna try and answer all the replies here.

195/70 15 was my next choice but there aren't many that size like someone else commented I should get a common size tire.

I wouldn't have thought a 205/65/15 would be too big its only .39 inches wider. My friend has the same car with 17s he said he doesn't rub unless the car is heavily loaded.

I haven't measured the wheel well but I did eyeball it and it looks like I have plenty of room. Some Camrys of this year came with 15s

205/70 15 is 1.6 inches taller and I believe they would fit without rubbing I will add that I put 2 inches rubber spacers in the back to stiffen the springs.

Yeah I will be using gps when I put these tires on.

Would 205/70 15 be overkill or will I still see gains with the 205/65 15? Tire wise I'm thinking about Michelin Defenders I have a set on my wife's car they have been good and at 90k miles won't have to worry with them for a long time. Thanks for all your replies.

Here's the specs on the Defenders in 205/70 15

Size: 205/70R15
LRR: Green X
Sidewall Style: Blackwall
Serv. Desc: 96T
UTQG: 820 A B

Anyone have any real life experience with Yokohama AVID Ascend? they are 30 dollars cheaper per tire for the same size
