width

the 195 is narrower than the 205, usually a few different widths fit on a given set of rims

To put it in "Max-Speak":

P 195/75/15

P = Passenger tire
195 = width of the contact patch/tread (measured in millimeters, I believe)
75 = Aspect ratio. Meaning, the height of the tire from the contact patch/tread to the point where the rim meets the sidewall.
15 = Diameter of the tire itself.

Hope that at least helps...

Well, I got 215/65/15's on stock rims (at least until I can find decently priced 17s - check MY sig), and I've got no problems. I don't think you will either. Good luck.
