Can I use 185/65/15 size tires instead of 195?

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! Nothing makes you feel like more of an adult than having to buy tires. It's totally possible to use 185/65/15 tires instead of the recommended 195/65/15 tires but there are some considerations. The smaller size will affect your speedometer accuracy and may slightly impact handling and ground clearance. Deviating from the manufacturer's recommended tire size is generally not recommended, as it can affect vehicle performance and safety. Tires can be expensive so consider shopping around for deals or looking for reputable budget tire brands in the correct size. There are some great inexpensive brands out there!
