The Camry SE gets a bit sportier.

For 2015, the Toyota Camry received an extreme makeover. The perennial best seller’s sales continued to climb, so the many changes to the style and under the skin have proven successful. Toyota offers the Camry in a variety of styles and for 2015 one new trim, the sporty XSE V6 was added to combine the best of the luxury features and the sportier looks into one model. It was a big hit. Toyota has found that buyers are trending towards the 4-cylinder SE (sports edition) as well, and this new 2016 Special Edition will build off that car’s already sportier elements.

"P225/45R18 tires" - A non-sports car with Toyota's irrational tire/wheel combination resulting in a poor ride, expensive replacement, and destroy-the-rims-on-potholes. Of course, THE ANSWER - wheel insurance! My 2012 RAV4 tires/wheels: P225/65R17 - about right - would prefer 70 series, if offered - on any vehicle.
