215/65/16

I would prefer 205/65/15 because:

Corolla by default uses rim15 and seems balanced with that size and also consume less fuel to move. It's the 205 tire doing the elevation/lifting here not the rim.

But if you frequent areas with bad roads, ugrade to rim 16 regardless.

205 is the width of the tyre.
65 is the height of the tyre.
The higher you want your car to be, the choice you go for.
If where you stay has a good road network, go for the 55.
If where you live has an SUV terrain, go for the 65 so you won't damage your rims because 55 is closer to the rim than 65 and if you enter a pothole at high speed with the 55, you're sure to have a damaged tyre and rim
