question about tire size
Right now my stock 2002 Honda Civic has P185/65R15 winter tires which are near the end of their life. I have found a great price on a set of discontinued ones to replace them They are P195/60R15, so pretty much same diameter but slightly wider. Does anyone have any opinion on if these will fit fine, no rubbing etc? I have no idea what the width of my rims are, just what came with the car.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
Re: question about tire size
If on stock (or stock spec) wheels they will fit just fine.
I kinda think I'd want a tire that's narrower than stock for snow, but that's just me.

+1 for narrow snow tires. I would get all seasons or snow tires. If anything I would go narrower and taller, but I don't know how tall would fit.

205/55R17?
don't think it will fit in the car. not even the 205/50R17.
