Default tires

I found a set of 205/70/15 tires in really good condition for $100. Could I replace my 195/65/15's on my 01 Accord without any problems other than speedo and odometer issues?
Thanks, Larry

Should be ok.....10mm wider (195 vs 205).

Then the sidewall, 195 at .65 = 126.75mm vs 205 at .7 = 143.5mm. So then translate that to overall diameter.......634.5 stock vs 667.5 (a little rounding here) comes to about 33mm taller....just over 1 1/4 inches.

EDIT: forgot to give the rim diameter so all of the math works out, the rim being ~381mm....so the rim diamter plus 2X the sidewall gives you the overall diamter.
