What make, model, and year is the vehicle? That would make things a lot easier to narrow down.

The 205/65-15 is 205millimeters (mm) wide and is 65mm from the rim the the outermost part of the tire (sidewall height). The other one is 195mm wide and has a sidewall height of 55mm.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any more questions!!

They should last the same amount of miles, give or take a few. However, They will each require a different air pressure to ensure that they will last as long as possible.
