Can I use a 205/65 R 15 tire rather than the 205/60 R 15 currently installed on my 1997 Mercury Mystique?

Q:

A: Remember 205 is your width in millimeters, the 60 or 65 is the % of the sidewall height. 205 x .60= 123mm... 205 x .65 = 133.25mm... In turn the sidewall on the 65 series is going to make the tire be 20mm taller than the 60 series. Yes it is enough to throw your speedo off some...
