Default Can I use 65r tires instead of 60r?
Hi there,
I have a 1990 Honda Accord EX and found a great deal on some tires that are a different size than those recommend. I need 195/60r/15 tires but they are size 195/65r/15. Will they fit my car? And is it safe/ok to use them?
Thanks in advance.

You should be fine. They'll be a little taller which may throw the speedometer off slightly but other than that I wouldn't worry about it.

Both are taller. 205 was actually used on the V6 models.
