I'd Dispute this in court, This is total bull. Im pretty sure your friend will win. 195/60/R15 is what these cars come as stock. Legally you should be able to go 2 inchs high in Diameter and 1 inch extra in width without a defect. So 215/40/R17 is the max Before your friend disputes this, get him to type out a letter, take it to a Toyota Service Centre and get it signed and Stamped Edit: Sorry, I Just relised, he has the wrong tyre size. he should have 205/50/R16. :( Click here to see the RTA regulations
