I am a taxi driver. I used to drive a 2007 Toyota Camry with tire size  P215 60R 16.

I bought a 2015 Toyota Camry with tire size P 205 65R 16; can i install my used winter tires ( 215 60 16 ) on my new Camry ?

Thank you in advance

Width of the tire is different: ~8.2” vs ~8.7”

Diameter of the tire is different: ~26.5” vs ~26.1”

Your said winter tire is wider and shorter!

Width of a tire may interfere with suspension parts and/or rub against the body, especially when steering wheel is fully to the right and left. You have to check that out. And a diameter will result in revolution per mile increase from 787 to 797.

Anyway, I wouldn’t worry about diameter, but wider section may just interfere with something or rub, … or both. You need to check that out, … and you must consider suspension movement checking it out. Hint: you may fire an e-mail to tirerack.com, … they usually have an instant answer, …

F.S.
