Default Would 165/65/15 tires be a good idea?

I have 195/55/15s on right now, but a buddy of mine is willing to sell me a brand new set for a really good price... Don't have alot of knowledge about tires, so I just wanted some insight. Thanks.

No unless you want to run stretched tires.

195/55/15 was the stock size that came on the 99-00 SI. Depends on what car you plan on putting them on.

Even though the overall height/circumference is exactly the same as the original P195/55R15 tire, WHY would you consider using a tire that is greater than 1" narrower in footprint at every corner ? This affects braking performance, cornering performance and reduced traction under acceleration.
