Brad P... you can fit the 205/55/15 tires on your car no problem. They aren't any wider than the 205/60/15. The "205" is the width of the tire, while the "60" or "55" denotes the sidewall height, or profile.
My friend Ron has a '95 Contour SE with 205/55/15 tires on it, and the only difference is that the car sits a little lower. Nor does he have any wear problems. He's had them on the car for over 2 years now.
