Hi ....Thanks for the info....I was given a pair of 215/65-15 snow tires and was wondering if they will fit on the front of the 2006 camry since the stock tire size is 205/65-15? Thanks

They'll fit, but I wouldn't do it. It's not like the old days when you put snow tires on the drive wheels. Now you should use snow tires on all 4 wheels. It's the wrong season anyway to be using snows.
How about selling them on Craigslist?

Can I ask would a 235/55R16 fit on my 07 camry se? It comes with the original 215/60R16. I found my car a bit unstable under strong wind. TIA.

I doubt changing the tires would help the crosswinds situation; save your money.

Not sure what you mean by "unstable" but yes, the larger size will fit. I doubt you will feel any more steady in the wind as the side wall height of both tires are virtually the same (5.07 inches vs 5.08 inches). Lowering the center of gravity of the car may help you with wind buffeting (think Nascar and how low they sit) but just changing tires will not.

OEM tires good enough?

I'm thinking of buying a Camry XLE 4 cyl. I'm a nut about quiet on the highway, and I've seen posts recommending either Bridgestone Turenza Serenity, or Kumho Esta LX Platinum as being very quiet.
Worth switching out for these at a discount tire place if it's a good deal?

Yes, the OEMs are good enough. If you're lucky, you'll get the Michelin Energy MXV4 S8 tires, which have worked well for me and a co-worker.

I agree with 210delray - I have the Energy MXV4 S8 - good for an OEM tire.
