I have a 2004 Honda Civic. The tire size is 195 x 60 x 15. Can I use 195 x 65 x 15? Will my car be affected?

No worries that size will be fine- very little difference overall.

It most certainly will be effected. You should never ever go under or over 3% difference in overall diameter from the OEM size tire. The 195/60-15 is 3.17% larger in overall diameter so this is NOT an acceptible substitute for the OEM size tires. Your speedometer would read 62 at a true 60 mph. You will also have less power and less rubber patch on the road so stopping distance will be adversely effected.
