I bought a Camry '99 (V4, Sedan) a couple of months back
and it requires new tires.
???
Maybe V6( 1MZ-FE ), or I4( 5S-FE ) ???
. dia wdth
. V6( 1MZ-FE ) calls for a [ 15 x 6.0 JJ ] wheel , P205/65R15 tire
. I4( 5S-FE ) " [ 14 x 5.5 JJ ] wheel . P195/70R14 tire
...........
I checked a few sites, and they recommend tires with
spec.'s 195/70R14. But the previous owner has 205/75R14.
[195/70R14] is OEM 'reccomended' , 4_cyl engines
[205/75R14} mite be an "up" sized tire ... ????
Tires have 2 "main" metrics ... "section" width & height.
The "195" in [195/70R14} is a measured(mm) section width ...
The "70" is a ratio , a "%" ... ( (sec_height/sec_width) x (100) ) ...
. sec_ht(x), therfore is "x"/195=70 ... U do the math
The "R" is radial , tire construct
The "14" is the (steel) wheel diameter , in =INCHES=
"mm" is a different "metric" than "Inches" .
SOoooo ...
the wheel diameter , with tire mounted , is ;
( (sec_ht) x (2) ) + ( wheel dia ) =
..... U do math and metric conversions.
Looks like [205/75R14] mite be a 'taller', overall "wheel" ...
..... U do math and metric conversions.
Check the wheel "rim" width to see if [205/75R14] mounts properly.

I wanted to know which are the ones that i should go with
now? Are there any advantages/disadvantages of 205...
over the 195...
Use the 'tire' that matches your engine size ,
and wheel size , is a safe 'bet'.
Your 'speedo' is calibrated to "them" ... :-)

(The car has default rim's)
Assumed: "wheels" that came on the car, outta the 'factory
I'm not all that sure of your measurements, or data.
????
You "seem", now, to have an "up" sized tire,
mounted on a "std" 14" dia. rim, w/4_cyl engine.
