My question actualy involves the tires on a camry so I couldn't find anything when I did a search on P195's. The situation is my friend got a new golf and doesn't want the tires since he's getting 17inch rims. I was hoping the P195/65/R15 could go on my contour but I think they would be way off. So maybe they can go on my dads car, we would be switching the rubber and not the rims so what do you think? Can P195/65/R15 go on a rim that currently has P205/65/R15?

I'm assuming you have 205/60r15's on your Contour. The 195/65r15's are closer in size to your tires, than they are to the 205/65's on the Camry. But yes, you can swap them either way. The speedo error will be about 2% on the Camry, 1% on your Tour.
