bigger tires 195/65-15
Our '96 Accord came to us with 195/65-15's on all wheels.
Stock size for 15's would be 195/60-15 so these are bigger diameter.
Any issues with slightly oversize tires? Speedometer is dead on, checked vs. a Garmin.
Just wondering about mechanical, clearance etc.
It's time to get 2 new tires so I gotta decide whether to stay with the 65's or go back to 60's.

You are fine, dont have anything to worry about mechanically or anything.
I personally prefer a lower profile tire, but if you are only replacing two tires you could consider just keeping them the same as you have on now. Another option is if you have to replace the other two not too far from now go with the lower profile but keep them just on the front together or just on the back together, then when it comes times to replace the other ones match them up. My 2 cents.

I run 235/60-15 M&H racemaster DOT slicks on my car on the front. NO issues (although I do run 1/4 inch spacers to keep them from hitting the traction bart radius rods at full lock... ). with the 205/60- 15s on the back even the ABS doesnt complain.
