    My Accord uses 195/65/15 tires can I use another size like 205/75/15 or am I
    asking for trouble. A friend was going to give me some unused winter tires
    that are this size but I'd like to know they will be ok before I go pick
    them up.

    Thanks!

    I wouldn't use them. Those would be close to 3" larger in diameter plus a
    little wider. You would possibly have clearance problems and would throw
    off your speedometer and odometer. Also, acceleration would be worse due to
    effectivly raising the final drive ratio. I have a '95 Accord wagon and I
    wouldn't want it to be any slower!
