Hi Tom,Morning,
I’m unable to advise on whether or not your suggested tyre size provides any benefits present problems as I’ve never tried them myself and you’ve not mentioned the wheel width are you intending to fit them to.
What I can do for you though is share the link to the Definitive Wheel and Tyre Thread as you should be able to answer this for yourself once you w studied it.
Hopefully someone will be along who has actually tried this size to give you their verdict.
Kind regards,
Tom
They should be absolutely fine as long as you are on standard, not significantly lowered suspension and it is in good, not dilapidated condition.Hi all.
I have been offered a set of 65 profile tyres at a good price. Reckon they would be ok?
One other thing I should probably have mentioned is the larger overall rolling circumference of the tyres will raise the gearing slightly too, meaning that when pulling away it might feel fractionally slower but the up side of that is because the revs will be lowered slightly, at motorway speeds the engine noise will also be reduced slightly too ?Thanks guys, much appreciated. I'll go for them then. Car is totally standard, so should fit fine. Happy with a bit of extra comfort, and probably a bit more pothole resistance.
Under reads? So when your speedo says 70, you're actually travelling 71mph?I have 15" wheels with 195/60 tyres and have no rubbing issues. My speedo under reads by 1 mph.
https://www.tyresave.co.uk/tyre-size-calculator/
is a useful site for comparisons.
When I fill in 175/65 vs 195/60, I get 23.96" (175/65) vs 24.21" (195/60) diameter.
One of my cars is on 185/65 R15s, the ride is marginally better than on 185/60 R15, better grip in recent snow and according to TomTom the speedo is now spot on. No problem with rubbing. I’d recommend themHi all.

On one of ours we have 175/65-15, on 6" wide Audi rims. Works fine even though they are studded winter tyres.Hi all.

Interesting. Did not realise my wheels were wider than most.

I presume you must have clicked on the op's avatar to determine that he is running the optional SE 15" wheels (which are indeed 6j) rather than the 'standard wheels' that he stated he had in post #3 which are 5.5j and I took what he said as correct when I replied.You have 6Jx15 ET37 rims (number 3 in the chart below), which are better suited to 185 and 195 size tyres than 175 size tyres.
185/55R15, 185/60R15, and 185/65R15, 195/55R15, and 195/60R15 would all work well with the 6J rims.

Sorry, I should have said original as opposed to standard.I presume you must have clicked on the op's avatar to determine that he is running the optional SE 15" wheels (which are indeed 6j) rather than the 'standard wheels' that he stated he had in post #3 which are 5.5j and I took what he said as correct when I replied.
Both sets of wheels however, were supplied fitted with the same 175/60 15 tyres from new and I actually have a set of each ?
