205 55 >195 60>205 60 for a 90-97 accord

a 205 60 15 will have a taller sidewall than a 195 60 15, making it flex more and handle worse. the sidewall number "60" is 60% of the width, thus as the width gets wider and the aspect ratio stay the same the tire gets taller. which is why 205 55 15 fits perfectly.
