Yup, I doubt you'd have to spend a lot on new tires.  I mean, you can always spend as much as you like and get Michelins, but there should be plenty of more affordable options for a car that common and standard.
Yeah, tires can start getting pricey when you're talking 20" rims, fairly low profiles, and SUV load ratings... Shouldn't be so bad for a Camry.

Hmm.....I'll have to note the tire size if I check it out.  It's an XLE, not an LE, which the InterGooglez tells me use different size tires, and that the XLE size is less common than the LE.  Could be more per tire.

You can go to a website like Discount Tire or TireRack, enter the make, model, year, and trim package, and it'll give you all sorts of options.

Wowee, I haven't even heard of the brands cheaper than the Yokohamas ($193).  $64 for Sentury, $80 for Phantom, $136 for Road Hugger, and $165 for Falken (I have heard of that brand).

The "SE" and "XLE" trims commonly use 235/45R18 tires.

The "patent thing" Michelin had a limited life, it would have been 17 years in the US after granting, at that time.  So, by 1965 anyone could make them, and they did.
