Toyota Corolla tire size
Original tire sizes for the Toyota Corolla, model years 1993 through 2024. Trim levels and wheel packages change the size within the same year, so confirm on the door-jamb sticker before ordering.
Check before you order. The surest answer is the tires on the car right now: the size is molded into the sidewall. The placard inside the driver's door tells you what the factory fitted, which can differ from what a previous owner put on. Our guide on reading a tire size shows exactly where to look.

Which brand should you pick?
Toyota does not stamp its own approval code on tires the way Porsche or BMW do. Any tire in the right size that meets or exceeds the load index and speed rating on your door placard is a legitimate replacement, so pick on wet braking, tread life and price. Our picks for each size are on the size pages below.
The drawing carries the sizes we list for this car, so you know what you are looking for. The placard on the car is still the final word, and it is the only place that gives the cold pressures: the number molded into the sidewall is the maximum the tire can hold, not what your car wants.
What those tires cost
About the Toyota Corolla
The Corolla is Toyota's compact sedan and hatchback, and it is the best-selling car nameplate ever built. Most people who land on a tire page for one are shopping for a daily driver they intend to keep, so the questions are usually price per set, wet grip and how long the tires last. Because the Corolla has run through six generations in the US since the early 1990s, the right size depends heavily on model year and trim.
Launched in 1966. Launched in 1966, the Corolla was Toyota's answer to Japan's first wave of mass motoring, a small rear-drive sedan that reached US dealers in 1968 and grew into the company's global volume model.
How to tell the model years apart
Wheel and tire sizes follow the generation, not the badge, so identifying yours matters before you order.
1993-1997
Seventh generation (E100)
Soft, rounded body with flush headlights and a small oval grille opening; the sedan looks like a shrunken Camry of the same era. Wheels are 13 or 14 inches and steel wheels with covers are the norm. The wagon and the Geo Prizm twin share this body.
Tire sizes: 185/70R14
1998-2002
2003-2008
Ninth generation (E120/E130)
Noticeably bigger and more slab-sided, with tall tail lights and a high trunk line; the sporty S trim added black-out trim and a small rear spoiler. Wheel sizes stayed at 15 inches on most cars, with 16s on the XRS. The Matrix hatchback is the related body style.
Tire sizes: 195/65R15
2009-2013
Tenth generation (E140/E150)
Wider grille with a pronounced upper bar and swept-back headlights, plus a more sculpted lower bumper than the 2003-2008 car. S models moved to 16-inch alloys with 205/55R16 rubber, which is the easiest way to tell them apart from an L or LE on 15s.
2014-2019
Eleventh generation (E170)
Much longer wheelbase, a low nose with a wide trapezoidal lower grille and standard LED low beams. S and XSE trims got 17-inch alloys, so a 215/45R17 fitment means one of those trims rather than an L or LE. The 2017 facelift sharpened the grille and bumper.
2020-2024
Twelfth generation (E210)
Built on the TNGA-C platform with a much lower hood, a large open lower grille and a hatchback body sold alongside the sedan. SE and XSE trims wear 18-inch wheels with 225/40R18 tires, the widest fitment the Corolla has ever used from the factory. The hybrid uses the same wheel sizes as the gas car.
What the press said
Reviewers have been consistent about the Corolla for three decades: they praise the fuel economy, the low running costs and the reputation for lasting, and they criticize the driving experience. Handling is usually described as safe rather than rewarding, and the CVT-equipped cars draw complaints about engine noise under hard acceleration. The 2020 redesign earned real credit for a better chassis and a proper hatchback body, but testers still send enthusiasts to the Honda Civic or Mazda3. The hybrid version is the one most often singled out as the pick of the range.
The Corolla defines A-to-B transportation, but some of its rivals are just as practical and offer more driver satisfaction.

US sales have sat between 220,000 and 365,000 cars a year for the past decade, and Toyota said it had sold 50 million Corollas worldwide across twelve generations by 2021.
Was it a success?
A commercial success by almost any measure, and the nameplate that finally passed the Volkswagen Beetle as the best-selling car of all time. Resale is strong, parts are everywhere and the reliability reputation is deserved, which is why so many high-mileage examples are still on the road. It is not the car to buy if you want to enjoy the drive, but it is very hard to lose money on one.
Did you know?
- Toyota said it had sold 50 million Corollas worldwide by 2021, which made it the best-selling automobile nameplate of all time, ahead of the Volkswagen Beetle.
- US-market Corollas were built alongside the Geo Prizm at NUMMI in Fremont, California, a GM-Toyota joint venture plant that ran until March 2010 and is now Tesla's factory.
- The Corolla name has covered rear-drive coupes, wagons, vans and hatchbacks; the rear-drive AE86 sold in the US as the Corolla GT-S is the same car that later became a drift-culture icon in Japan.
Tire options on the Toyota Corolla
Corolla fitments run from 185/70R14 on early 1990s cars up to 225/40R18 on the current SE and XSE. The two sizes you will meet most often are 195/65R15 and 205/55R16, both of which are cheap, widely stocked and available in almost every all-season and winter line on the market. Nothing in the range uses run-flats or a staggered setup, and the factory tires have usually been ordinary all-seasons from Firestone, Toyo, Continental or Michelin depending on the year and plant. Upsizing is common on the 2020 and later cars, but the 18-inch 225/40R18 is already a low-profile size and going further hurts ride quality on a car tuned for comfort. Standard load index is plenty for a Corolla; there is no towing case to plan for.
