Tire Concerns: Different sized tires
My car needs new tires all the way around (205 /60R15)and I happen to have a set of 4 tires that are almost new from a car that I owned previously(195/60R15). I was wondering what would happen if I were to cheap out and use the tires I have sitting in the garage.

Editorial Comment:
These other tires are lower and narrower than your present tires. The difference in width is 20mm (about 4/5 of an inch) and the height drops by 60% of that which is about 1/2 an inch. I can't think of any significant difference a slimmer tire will make and a half inch lower height is not great either but could result in some minor driving issues with slightly reduced clearance under your car.
