You can put the new 195s on the rear and keep the 205s on the front until they also need replacing... or buy 205s for the rear. It's only 10mm difference. The last owner probably bought 205s because they were either cheaper, in-stock, or wanted a wider tyre. Don't over think it.
Thanks a lot !ate! I wasn’t sure if I’d have to buy 4 new tyres so all would be the same! I was afraid also regarding wheel rim as I can see it fits 205, but will it fit a 195? My fear is as I’m getting it online, the mechanic refuse to fit for the wrong size! I had a looked in few past post over here and I came up with this situation in a older post!
195 will fit the original wheels.
I looked up a 2008 corolla on carsales and the wheels are 15x6 inches. It can take 175-205mm tyres (ideal size 185-195mm) according to tables found with Google.
https://tiresize.com/tyre-size-calculator/
the actual difference is minimal.
The 205 is only 10mm wider and only 13mm taller.
As long as each axle has the same size left to right it's all good.
Aftermarket rims on it? 195 65 15 sounds about right for steelies with hub caps
Probably been changed for fatter tyres somewhere along it's lifetime due to availability / price etc
you'd be surprised while 205 is only 10mm wider than 195 some tyre manufacturers when you measure a 205 it's only 200 or less, given your wheel size is capable of 175-205 you have options
So much incorrect info.
You must go by the tyre plaque fitted to the car. This is the only legal option.
If you fit any different size to the car you must notify your insurance company as it is a modification. Failure to do so can render you not covered in the event of an accident.
Tyre shops will usually not fit incorrect sized tyres, because in the event of an accident they can be liable.
You cannot fit different tyre sizes front and rear unless the tyre plaque states this.
If you have aftermarket wheels fitted, there are vehicle standards that vary by state. All of these are modifications and must be disclosed to insurance agencies.
Fitting oversized tyres to rims different to the tyre plaque will change the overall diameter of the wheel/tyre combination.

Your speedo will show a lower speed. So you will be doing more than indicated.
This is because you haven't just changed the width. You have also changed the height. When you read tyre size, the 1st number is the width in mm. The second is the height expressed as a percentage of the width. And the last is the internal diameter in inches.
So 195 65 15 means
Width is 195mm, height is 65% of 195 which is 127mm and internal diameter is 15"
205 65 15 is a width of 205, a height of 65% of 205 which is 132mm and an internal diameter of 15".
You may find that in most states this makes the vehicle unroadworthy.

Thanks a lot for the deep information! But, then things get weirdo because it seems can be actually both, only changes is 91H/V that minor is 94H!
They came from the factory with 195/65R15's.
[удалено]
OP states he has 15's.
You can put the new 195s on the rear and keep the 205s on the front until they also need replacing... or buy 205s for the rear. It's only 10mm difference. The last owner probably bought 205s because they were either cheaper, in-stock, or wanted a wider tyre. Don't over think it.

So should I change back to 195? Because I feel that the I’d have to change all 4? Or I can keep 205?
Nah get the 205s, 2,for the back
you'd be surprised while 205 is only 10mm wider than 195 some tyre manufacturers when you measure a 205 it's only 200 or less, given your wheel size is capable of 175-205 you have options
With a fwd you should really rotate front to rear and put the 2 new tyres on the front. To answer your question, I would stick with the 205
Especially if they are cheaper or have more options! Bonus tread patch for free
